This song is breathtakingly beautiful. I'm currently addicted to it. I've no idea how the kind of pain she's expressing feels, but I almost feel like I do when I hear the song. For me, this song is about feeling worthless and vulnerable, really needing help but not knowing how to ask for it. My favourite line is also the title: Breathe me. I think that this line could have any number of meanings, but these are my favourites:
She wants someone to understand how she feels. To walk in her shoes and feel her pain so she knows she's not alone (see Akiata's comment)

I think she's grown so tired, and she's hurting so much, that it hurts to breathe. She's too tired and wants someone to 'breathe for her', to support her. She doesn't want to have to control anything anymore, she just wants to be alive, but she's too tired to do anything else.
