I feel like this song is a plea to someone, be it a partner, a family member or a dear friend who is dependent on her, that she would do her best to please that person and to not let that person down. But the other person seems to be expecting too much of her.
The part,
"I can do it
I'll get through it"
is her trying to convince both herself and the other person that she could make all the sacrifices needed. But then she went on saying she's only human and despite her efforts, she has her limits.
The part
"Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart"
seems like that other person made her feel insufficient. He might be careless with his words and say hurtful things, but other times he would give her encouragement and "build her up" before bringing her down again. She's pleading for that person to remember that she's human and she could feel hurt as well.
I grew up with a PTSD father and I always tried to take care of him all my life. trying to keep him from blowing up on me and screaming and making me feel like a moron. I could fake a smile, say what he wanted to hear, I could try not to fail....but I'm only human.

@Richelle-_- I actually forgot I've ever posted this. I'm sorry to hear your story. Bullying is never right, but that doesn't stop people from doing it anyway. Stay strong, okay? 6 years is a long time. Perhaps it's time you seek help from someone?
