think this song is about 2 people who were once in a relationship, but are now afraid to speak to each other. Or afraid of what the other person thinks about them.

“ You tried to kill me off
Surprised I remain
A scale tips impossible
Afraid of my own name ”
- Meaning the person is worried that the other person hates them for something they did in the past, and is afraid of even hearing his own name spoken.

“ And I always paid attention to all the lines you crossed
Forgive this imperfection it shows and know
I am the child that lives and cries in a corner
Dies in a corner
Alone inside your mind ”
- Meaning he knows that the other person wants him to suffer for what he did, and cry or “die in a corner” so to speak. And be alone forever. Also, he admits to being imperfect (which shows he hurt the other person in some way in the past)
