This song is amazing. Pretty self explainatory because it tell's a story.

This girl isn't a pariah but she isn't too hip growing up. Nobody really hears her, so she decides two things. To be heard, she has to get out of her close-minded town, and she's going to sing her own truths. She turns into success, she gets on the radio. But there is a price with the success. She sort of loses her roots, and that ties into how much world changes her; down to her own name.

The girl seems to be pushing judgment away, and she's saying she'll be fine, even if she is dubbed a "runaway" if she just tries.
