My interpretation is something a LOT of people could relate to. It's about being strong for someone close during a tough time, then being in a reverse situation but not getting the same support from that person when you really need it.
It's kinda sad because a lot of people will lean on those around them when they need help but forget about it when the roles are reversed. You'll see in my breakdown below.
Take something from this. Remember that none of us are unbreakable even if we convince ourselves that we are. When someone falls, help them back up ESPECIALLY someone who's been there for you.
First verse
She's speaking to someone close to her. Asking them to bear with her as she's overwhelmed by something, maybe a decision.
Second half, she's reminding that person that she did it for them when they were in the same position.
Bridge
She's speaking metaphorically (I think that's the right figure of speech) because the person she's speaking to isn't understanding, isn't recognising her message, isn't hearing her, not understanding her emotion.
Why aren't you listening? Why can't you understand? If a lion roared, would you be deaf to it? If a child cried, would you get frustrated with it?
Chorus
She's opening up, bearing her soul. I might appear strong, I might have thought I never fall down, but I was wrong.
Amazingly deep and emotional for such simple lyrics. Something a lot of people struggle to do, admit weaknesses or weak moments.
Verse 2
Acceptance. Accepting that the person can't bear with her the way she did for them. Like, ok, turn a blind eye and excuse me while I'm in this moment.
Second half, voicing her opinion, and asking for agreement, to whether the person knows deep down that they can't be supportive because they don't feel strong enough about her, maybe don't really love her enough to.
