I think its about a guy in a relationship with a girl who self harms and the conversation that goes on between them.
in the first verse, he realizes that she self harms. he wants her to have faith in him and trust him that he won't get things confused when he has to explain whats going on to other people.
in the chorus, I think the lyrics are coming from the girl's point of view. she doesn't go out because of her self harm issues. she's asking him to tell them about how he kept his composure through the situation. for the last 2 lines, I'm not sure. I think he was shocked when she told him, and his response was to shut her out for a little bit to find his thoughts. therefore, closing his heart. when she tried to open it with the key, she ended up breaking it. instead of being inside his heart to find the answer, she has to outright ask him.
the second verse is pretty obvious. they've had somewhat of a rough past because she was hiding a very big part of herself and got lost trying to keep the other part alive. he threatens to leave her completely if she isn't honest with him.
in the new parts of the chorus, she's talking about how she's forever changed by what she's done to herself, and she can't undo any of it. she's asking that he stays so she doesn't have to go through it alone, even though the situation is purely self inflicted.
in the last verse, he's asking her to be honest and tell him about all the horrible things in life. he's thinking that once he knows these things, it will make him a man because he handled them so effortlessly. when he's seen the hardships, he'll try his best to make things better and give her what she needs to make it through another day. he'll have a peace of mind once he knows that he's helping her, and their relationship will last forever, going where all things end up, at the bottom of the ocean, together. he's asking her to lead the way, and show him all of the details. he's learning new things in his life and the last part is a bit of irony.
the last part of the song is from her point of view again. she's saying how the world has pretty things, and asking him that he still stays his neat and clean self, and tries to be beautiful as he always has been, even though he's discovered a darker part of their world.
