I'd have to agree with xheyqtx to a cetrain extent. I think it's more about a proverbial suicide, not literally about self-harm.
She wants the other's attention so does rash things that are uncharacteristic of her because she's desperate: she sees that the relationship is at it's ultimate low and she either wants for him to wake up and realise it too or for him to try fix it with her.
'Say something funny, say something sweet
But don't say that you loved me...'
It feels like (for me anyway) that she's asking for him to say something sentimental about her at the funeral (in the speech he's preparing, since that's what she was hinting at earlier in the verse).
