Even though the song is about a specific person and situation, I feel that it can apply to other tragic situations, like a lost love. I can even see it being sung in the third person by someone who puts themselves in the role of Joanne because they are giving up on themselves or running away from something and need a boost in self-worth. It's poignant all these ways.
