Its about being recognize no matter what situation you are in

It's about addiction - she starts a fresh every day with the intent today will be the day she beats the addiction, but the day seems so long when you crave something, she caves in hence she is "gone" as in off her face. She is lying on her back - not because she's dying because she's wasted, she's seeing flashing lights as she is hallucinating, she's stealing from the poor for her next fix, she's trying to keep her heartbeat as its racing through her body.
It's a plea to god to justify her actions as a drug abuser.

To me, it appears that in this song, it describes her being addicted to drugs. My reasons come from the following;
i try to keep my heart beat, but i can't get it right. - the drugs possibly having an effect on her body. Will you recognize me when i'm lying on my back. - overdose? Something's gone inside me and i can't get it back. - refering to the innocence, her mind. Oh heaven, oh heaven. - the "happy place" she is released to when taking these drugs. I wake with good intentions, but the day lasts too long. - she doesn't want these drugs, but before long she finds herself taking them. I'm nothing like before. - again, lost to the drugs, not herself. Lose another friend. - self explanatory, the drugs are turning her into someone she's not. People don't like this. Then i'm gone. - to her own "heaven" (she hasn't died in my mind, just been freed to a happier place while on these drugs. )

Don't be caught on the fame... She really mean well but she going 2 " strong "

Something that seems out of her control but actually isnt. We are always in control and always have the ultimate power over decisions that affect our lives... Souls.

Trying to enter a world of fame whilst trying to keep a sense of reality and maintain old relationships. Flashing lights - cameras media
heart beat - health, drugs
something gone inside me -sex/virginity
stealing from the poor - desperation of some sort.

The days become long and at the end of it she escapes. But everyday. Drug induced maybe? A blackout of some sort.

Never though of it all this way but yeah heard it today and thought hey.

I like the honesty in this song, she feels that she can never measure up to what she think is the perfection god wants. But the truth is that jesus is always there to pick you up and bring you back. God knows we aren't perfect and sent the answer in jesus, believe in his name, because he died himself to do all that is necessary to get anyone to heaven and back in his arms!!
