My interpretation seems to be different to a lot of the other commenters. This probably becomes because it's somewhat reminds me of my own experience (although I'm a guy). Basically, someone who I liked a lot went to 3rd with another person while drunk at a party. I'd been trying to stop this happening, but when it happened, I'd lost all hope, so I walked home by myself at 3am in the morning, hopeless. I see this song more sympathetic and highlighting the girl's plight.

The first few lines is more about the girl running off into the darkness, after having her dreams crushed by someone she knows will never love her back and her "heart, [has become] a stone."

The second part is the part where she's asking herself questions. She'd never thought that this would ever happen, and when it's happened before, she's surrounded herself in a fake world and tried to ignore it. Now she's faced hard cold reality, she feels like she's lost, and that since nobody chased her, nobody cares about her.

The third part is culmination of the first two sections, knowing that everybody knows that you're going to hurt inside because of this, but because it's 'hit news' and it's a drunken act nobody will care about the fact you're burning inside. That you've reached a point where everything is so painful that you don't even care anymore, and you don't know where to go next.

The chorus part I see more is an outsider talking about how people write songs about the pain the girl is going through, and that she's going to have to accept things the way they are.

Long winded explanation, but it's hard to do the song justice without going in-depth about it.
