Could it be about being in a relationship where she is treated undeserved rude, probalby in mental way? And she is telling about her anger building up, and that one of these days it will become too much and the anger will all come out, and she won't be able to hold it in anymore.
"some people wear their smile like a disguise
those people who smile a lot watch the eyes
i know cause i'm like that a lot
you think everything's okay
it is till it's not"
"some people wear their heart up on their sleave
i wear mine underneath my right pant leg strapped to my boot
don't think cause i'm easy i'm naive
don't think i won't pull it out
don't think i won't shoot"
She hides her feelings, pretend to be okey, nothing's wrong, and she can keep that facade, until it gets too much and she can't stand the humiliations anymore ("you think everytings okey, till it's nog")
In the first and the last verse she is warning him that he's pulling it too far and she will speak back one of these days, and because of that she will push him away, she already knows that she'll miss him, because she does love him. But eventhough she can't stay with him because their relation is too much out of balance, that on the moment that "it's all gonna come out", it will all be too heavy and they won't be able to stay together and pretend it never happened OR find a new balance, where they're more equal...
"I'm gonna be torn" : I suppose that she'll feel guilty about chasing the man that she loves away because of suddenly showing all her anger, but on the other side knowing that she couldn't hold it back.
"i'm gonna turn on a dime
give you 5 cents change"
Don't know what this line means, is this a kind of expression or something in english? If I hear this in this song, I guess it's something like, we are gonna be equal, instead of just swallow everything that they say to her (with a smile), she will answer back, so only take the half, equal pay. I don't know how to exactly explain this idea, probably it makes no sense the way I wrote it, but I find it interesting enough to give it a try. So maybe someone else can help me out with this expression?
