When I first heard this song, it reminded me of high school and all the pressure there was to achieve, and how it felt to try and find out you couldn't live up to other people's standards. I think it's about how we develop such high expectations for ourselves, mostly because we're surrounded by people who either have high expectations or whom we believe have high expectations. In the end, she essentially says, "I know I can't do this, so I shouldn't even try".
