I think the song is about a girl and a guy (duh). The girl has changed, but doesn't realize how drastically she changed. Hence "Self portraits of what you once were".
The guy is desperately trying to understand how to better their relationship because he senses it is in peril, but is unable to do so because she has changed. Hence
"I can feel the tension in your words,
screaming for me to understand what you've been thinking.
There's a cloud casting ore your head.
Can't see anything clear, you're only seeing who you were."
The guy is clinging to the last remaining threads of their tearing relationship for fear of losing her forever. Hence
"She will break and shatter.
There will be no return. Hold on tight."
Somebody in the relationship cheated, the cheating of course being the burdened act. They both hope that later in their relationship they can overcome the fact that they once cheated or were cheated on.
