These lyrics are wrong. I own the CD. I'm not at home, so I don't have the lyric book on me but some corrections I know just from familiarity:
"with my arms out in the front singing "tear me, tear me" this is actually "dare me, dare me". I love the line. I love this whole album, it's like my personal anthem and reminds to stand up for myself and say something.
"They say it gets better, better" is actually "They say it's better, better" as in they say it's better to just tell you what you want instead of getting you worked up over the truth.
"I hope they cut you open, make you seal the warn" you're missing a whole bunch here. It's "I've got my words, I hope they hurt you, I hope they scar you, I hope they heal you, I hope they cut you open, make you see that you've been warring for all the wrong reasons." Also memorized because it reminds me of myself.
"Run the strip through your hair" this is "run the spit through your hair."
Hope that helps. You can't interpret a song if you don't have the correct lyrics.
