I think this song is about someone who may act and seem confident and strong on the outside but really is broken up inside. Hence the lines:"You're too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone"

It could either be about Amy telling these things to a friend or too a deeper part of herself.

i think it is about a person who is running away from the world but doesn't want anyone to know. "Where will you go with no one left to save you from yourself" maybe the person is suicidal?

"You think that I can't see right through your eyes/scared to death to face reality"
the person is too afraid to face the real situation and just wants to run away from it

"no one seems to hear your hidden cries/your left to face yourself alone"
no one listens to the person so they have to deal with everything on their own

"im so sick of speaking words that no one understands/is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone/i can hear you in a whisper/but you can't even hear me screaming"
no one believes her when she says that the person needs help, and the person refuses to listen to her when she says that they need to face the situation. and she is the only one who willingly listens to teh person and tries to help them.

She cares about someone who can only care about himself, and she's telling him that sooner or later, not only will he have to face the world, but he'll have to face that his life isn't what he's convincing himself it is- that it's not perfect. She's worried because she loves him so much that she can almost feel what he is- "I can hear you when you whisper but you can't even hear me screaming"- but he can't hear her desperate pleas for him to change while there's still time.
