"I conjure up the thought of being gone But I'd probably even do that wrong I try to think about which way Would I be able to and would I be afraid"

She's metaphorically talking about leaving and being without him, and literally about running away and escaping.

"It's all your fault You called me beautiful You turned me out And now I can't turn back I hold my breath Because you were perfect But I'm running out of air And it's not fair"

She's blaming him for making her fall in love with him, but really in a totally negative way either. Then in the next couple lines, she's talking about how much she's changed or something essential is different about herself that she can't just walk away. As for the holding her breath thing, I think it has more to do with a line of thought, "oh he's so beautiful and perfect, I don't want to even breath because I might disturb his perfection" or something like that, I don't think I quite expressed that perfectly. But after her initial intake of breath, she's now running out of air, because she still can't breath because he's still so perfect, and she doesn't think that she's good enough for that perfection that is him, and it's not fair for her to feel so inferior all of the time.

I would never pull the trigger But I've cried wolf a thousand times I wish you could Feel as bad as I do I have lost my mind

She's talking about leaving, and how she never could, but how she's said she would "a thousand times" before, and how he could have some kind of empathy, or feel how she does (miserable and inferior).

I don't think this has anything to do with suicide, or metaphors for suicide. But I do think it's about a girl (I'm just going to say girl because it's Pink singing, but I think this can be applied to either sex) who doesn't know how much longer she could take being with this person, because she thinks they're so perfect, and she honestly doesn't think she can compare to that, and it's that hint of inferiority that makes her miserable. One thing this song could be about, is she's just trying to get their attention. It's not that they don't care, or that they're absent, it's just that they don't notice her all of the time. An example for what I'm trying to say would be, dating someone who's in the limelight all of the time, and while they're out busy doing their thing, you're sitting at home waiting for them to come back, and you feel forgotten while you're at home alone, so you do what you can to get their attention, ie crying wolf and threatening to leave. Plus with dating someone who's famous, while you're not, there's the "Wow, I'm dating (fill in celebrity), I really don't get how they like me type thing"

I think that's pretty much it.... I hope you were able to understand at least some of what I said!

...Oh and one more thing, just to be clear, the celebrity metaphor was just that, a metaphor, I don't think it really applies here, it was more of an example to get the feelings of it across.

I'd edit, but it I can't find a way to. So I'll do this instead.

I just wanna expand on something I said a bit earlier,

"It's all your fault You called me beautiful"

She's blaming him for making her fall in love with him, but really in a totally negative way either. But she's also saying that it's that one thing he said to her that made her fall in love with him, and if it hadn't been for that one moment, and those words he said, she wouldn't have fallen for him.

I think also one...
