This song makes me think of psychosis. Like schizophrenia or something. I think the speaker is aware of her delusions, but that doesn't make them any less real for her.
Or she's seeing something supernatural. But that's just a pet theory, not the real one I'm going with.
All alone
Even when I was a child
I've always known
There was something to be frightened of
All alone
Even when I was a child
I've always known
There was something to be frightened of
I really identify with this. "I think i'm breaking down again." its almost like a song by Everclear called "Here comes the darkness again." Its about loneliness and the feeling of despite how good or bad things may be, the loneliness will always come for you. A beautiful song, touches my heart.

I actually had another good theory that went this way. We know What the Water Gave Me is about Virginia Woolf saying "oh my love dont forget me when i let the water take me (pockets full of stones)." This song could be her speaking from Virginia's point of view as well, and what she was thinking as she was breaking down for the last time before she ended her life. The following is the suicide note left for her husband who was in WWII and she was "all alone" and "breaking down" after their home in London was bombed...

"Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier 'til this terrible disease came. I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that — everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.

The song is most definitely about loneliness.
