I think it's about her parents when they used to fight, and how she doesn't really like her dad:

Spitting fire back and forth now Times have changed in just a few months Neighbors complaining from the fights And why can't things be the same

(Her parents are fighting, and it's really loud, and she just wants things to be the same.)

And maybe I'm just a little bit cautious Of what I'm gonna say When I tell you I can't live this way But I don't know what to expect From someone who's so insane

(She doesn't wanna tell her parents that she can't take it so she just keeps quiet)

Why can't I get through the night Without another fight? I'm tired of the hurting Is it really worth it? Am I all alone again? 'Cause I am kind of feeling Like I'm screaming with my mouth shut When it's really open

(She always hears her parents fighting and she's tired and feels like she's all alone, and she feels like when she says something, no one can hear her)

The only noises in my head Are consumed of your voice From all the pain and hatred How long can you kick somebody down Before a foot breaks?

(All she hears is her parents, and she's saying how long can her dad bully her mom before "a foot breaks)

Why can't I get through the night Without another fight? I'm tired of the hurting Is it really worth it? Am I all alone again? 'Cause I am kind of feeling Like I'm screaming with my mouth shut When it's really open

(Same)

And I knew that you would fabricate This situation just for the sake of Your need for attention And I'm sick of always being the one To always break down Always melt down in the end And maybe this time It's a sign that independence and I Are finally catching on I don't need you to rely on

(Her dad makes up situations to make him seem like that bad guy, and she's sick of it and being the only one to break down.)

Why can't I get through the night Without another fight? I'm tired of the hurting Is it really worth it? Am I all alone again? 'Cause I am kind of feeling Like I'm screaming with my mouth shut When it's really open

Spitting fire back and forth now Times have changed in just a few months
