I think this song is about depression/suicide, and how hard it can be to get out of. The "piano" could be the last reason why she would want to stay alive; it isn't firewood yet, therefore she continues to live. When she talks about taking it apart and finally burning it, she defends herself, because people who have never been depressed or suicidal often don't understand the reasons why anyone would want to kill themselves, let alone what it feels like to be in that situation. The part about missing your toys and wishing you were small again is a metaphor for remembering the times when you were truly happy, and wishing you could have those times again.
I think the end of the song is the saddest, because to me it means that, even if you do eventually move past the depression, you can never truly escape it.
It's such a heartbreaking song, I cry every single time I hear it.
