I love this song. I think she's talking about someone she has a love/hate relationship with. And she's kind of stuck in it, she can't find her voice, she doesn't have enough confidence to walk away and she's wants to pretend she's still ok with it because she has fears that no one will love her again. And she's kind of saying, that it's had to let go of another person, she's kind of hanging on to hope that it will work.
