"They cut out her heart when she was a little girl" - Sarah was abused as a child, and consequently has no heart, she's dead inside.
"(God) wasn't there at all" she has lost her faith.
"Sarah I want to be like you.... So I know how it feels not to feel" - The speaker is fed up of being heartbroken at the end of relationships, she wants to be heartless like Sarah so she doesn't feel the pain.
"Adopting Sarah's heart was never gonna be easy" - she's decided they'll trade places. She will somehow become heartless like Sarah, and Sarah will become like her and know how to feel.
"Changing from black to blonde" - they change their appearance
"Gave me her clothes and told me to take her place" - self explanatory.
So it goes back to the chorus and they have swapped identities and taken each other's lives. Sarah will try to be like the speaker and find love, and the speaker will try to be like Sarah and flit from one relationship to the next. Or have serious relationships but just not care enough to get hurt.
It's unclear how this will work if they have only changed their appearance, but I assume there was some kinda black magic involved. :)
