She HAS stated in an interview that this song is about running away.
The way I understand it, the verses are sort of like she's talking to herself.
She's realised that she has a bad habit of becoming exactly what anyone wants from her. Like a puppet, they can control her. (Hands on strings and my mouth open
Find the perfect words that I've not spoken
And I won't tell the truth unless you want me to). It's to the point where, when she finally cracks and stops, she doesn't know who she is anymore.
The chorus is where she "runs away" to try and find herself. And trying to be strong enough to not lose herself again.
