To me the song is clearly about the type of person who takes too much responsibility upon themselves works him/herself so hard that they neglect their own needs and end up breaking down from the pressure, failing both themselves and others, and the song is somewhere between a plea, an accusation, and a lament. It's really a pretty sad song, but there is just that glimmer of hope in it. I've had similar problems happen in my own life, so it really feels like Tarby is talking to me.
Also, for some reason the subject of the song seems to come across as a sympathetic villain to me, I'm not sure why. It's probably from the contrast of positive and negative attributes.
