To me the meaning of this song is crime and guilt and keeping the shame trapped inside.
For those of you who haven't seen the video it's a babysitter that goes around the house stealing jewellery and the key to the house while nobody knew then Matt appears to her in the mirror as if he was her conscience and makes her feel guilty for what she is doing.
To break these endless lies, secretly she cries-lying about stealing and being innocent but inside she is guilty and she knows that she has done wrong and she keeps it locked up.
And I'll hide from the world behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame-shows she is trying to hide the bad deed from everyone and not being able to face what might happen if she owns up.
She burns like the sun, and I can't look away-impiles that inside her mind she is burning because the guilt is building up and that it becomes obvious for other people to see.
But in a more realistic term this song could be talking about love and when your feelings get hurt by the person you love or they betray you and you have wasted your time and the person who hurt you feels guilty and doesnt show it which makes even more friction.
