I love this song.
It's meaning can almost change with your mood and with what you need from it at a particular moment, but right now I think it's about a woman whose lover did something that betrayed her trust. (S)He's leaving because (s)he hurt the relationship and her so badly. But she's saying that she loves him/her enough to pretend to let it drop. She's saying she loves the other person enough that she'd willingly turn to stone because separation would hurt her so much more badly. She's willing to lose herself to preserve that emotional connection.
But will (s)he stay? Is the love enough to hide her lover's betrayal and her heart hardening? And is (s)he even willing to try?
