Bitterfairy was right I found an interview that explains the entire soung.
"SF: You mentioned in "Stay" part of the inspiration was a friend of yours. And there's a song called "She's Falling Apart."
Lisa: Oh, yeah.
SF: Tell me about that one.
Lisa: That was one that I wrote in Miles Copeland's castle in France with two other writers. And the idea in that case was instigated by one of the men, who's a writer from Nashville. He had somebody in his life who had anorexia, and he wanted to write a song about that. I thought that was a great topic, food disorders and eating issues, and depressed teenagers are a near and dear topic to me. And I thought that it would be really interesting to write a song like that.
SF: Sounds like she's even a cutter.
Lisa: She's not, but her arms are too thin. That's anorexia.
SF: Gotcha.
Lisa: Yeah, people hear it and they think, Oh she must be on drugs or something. But you still get the right feeling from the song, because those are all issues that are secret and hidden and difficult for families to deal with. They don't know what to do and when to take care of them."
