I always thought this song was about Regina watching a friend in a domestic abuse situation ("...and the pride inside their eyes is synchronised to a love you'll never know..."). Her friend's whole life is about acting like nothing's wrong. ("...everyone takes turns, now it's yours to play the part...") She and Regina argue about it ("...this is why we fight...") The doctors know and they don't know how to help ("...they're sitting all around you holding copies of your chart, and the misery inside their eyes is synchronised and reflecting into yours...")
Anyway. That's just my take on it... but I love the other interpretations too.
