This is a very meaningful song about the process of breaking it off with someone (someone that she was too dependent on) and how hard and tumultuous the process is.
She's in the process of working through a broken relationship (you took your toll on me, so I gave myself over willingly).
The relationship has ended and she's not sure how to go on (people just untie themselves, uncurling lifelines). She's not sure how to separate her identity and life from his.
She searches for meaning in this struggle ("sing it out loud, who made us this way") because she's having such a hard time breaking free.
She's hurt, and she's bleeding. But she's telling herself that if she hangs in there, she'll be ok and find meaning in life again.She had to have this man and she's going to feel the consequences for a long time, but she's hoping that ultimately she'll be ok.
