I could be wrong, but I've interpreted it as a person opening up to someone about being used for child pornography. My reasoning? Verse 1 is the person reflecting about a traumatic experience but is trying to brush it off or repress the memory because they don't want anyone to feel sorry for them or think they feel sorry for themself. Verse 2 the person thinks they can move beyond it by acknowledging the wrongdoing and remembers having to undress in front of a camera and feeling violated. The 1st and 2nd chorus explain that the person was literally crying at a party (perhaps referencing a child sex ring) and the cameraman/photographer is getting frustrated and is forcefully trying to pose the child for lewd pictures or video--hence "those aren't meant to bend". The "I might die line" either hints to suicidal thoughts or it represents the child fearing for their life at the time of the exploitation, molestation, or assault.
