I'll try not to talk about Frozen too much. But seriously this song screams Frozen though (I know I know it was before Frozen)

"Mirror, tell me something... tell me who's the loneliest of all." Not much to say here that hasn't already been said.

"Fear of what's inside me..." Now, see, this is interesting. At first, Weiss is rude and mean. Part of the reason for this is obviously her arrogance and pride, but it's possible that her Tsundere attitude is her way of hiding her intense loneliness. That would also account for why she is able to get nicer so fast-- she doesn't really feel so belligerent, she's just afraid to make herself vulnerable.

"Tell me, can a heart be turned to stone?" Is she afraid that if she keeps hiding behind that cold exterior, that she will become it?

"Mirror, tell me, what's behind you?" At this point the song has a more desperate sound to it. It's almost as if her own reflection frightens and confuses her.

"Save me from the things I see!" What's interesting is that she's still addressing the mirror. What she's seeing isn't what interests me as much, it's that she tries to dwell on herself to escape it. But it doesn't work.

"I can keep it from the world; why won't you let me hide from me?" She can put up her front, but she knows the truth. She's so tired of all the crap in the world, the White Fang and the effect it has on her father, so she tries retreating into herself to make the pain go away. But the pain is in herself, and she can't run from that.

"Mirror, mirror, tell me something / Who's the loneliest of all?" Repeating a line doesn't generally mean much, but I think she might be searching for something to convice her that her life isn't all that bad, that it could be worse. Well, it could be worse, but in the end she just can't see past herself; and it makes her miserable.
