Yet another MASTERPIECE. I think this song is all about how people give lip-service to being concerned, connected and loving to their friends, but they really only show up when there is some sort of tragedy or drama that they can insert themselves into, for the real purpose of making themselves feel better, rather than offering any kind of real and consistent connection to those they claim to love. Kate realizes this and says from now on she will only give of herself what they expect, and keep the real her to herself, letting her answering machine deal with them instead of actually getting dragged into their superficial relationships again.
