I know that this isnt the actual meaning of the song, but to me, it's the thoughts of my best friend who committed suicide a month ago. He loved Ellie Goulding's music. When she sings "'cause i'd rather pretend i'll still be there at the end. only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me?" it reminds me that his last words to me were a promise to be somewhere later. He was pretending as though he'd still be here for it, and it was too hard to ask for help. And he even had a crappy old couch in his room (it's all broken springs) and that's where he spent a lot of time being sad, but that shouldnt have been the place for those violin strings (sad thoughts). everything about this song makes me think of him...
I thought it may be about suicide too. I now understand that it's about changing to please someone, but this original interpretation still sticks with me.
