On the first part the person is talking to a relative (a parent) "it's your blood and I tried to give it back to you"
On the second she's talking to a younger version of herself, as if trying to warn her of the mistakes she made "don't hold more than you can stand to carry" maybe she means of repressed feelings being too heavy a load.
She then describes something that people who has suffered of depression can relate to. Sometimes just standing up, getting yourself out of bed, just keeping the routine requires some of that 'hysterical strength'
The last lines could be a last message to someone she blames for her despair. Someone who kept pushing her, and trying to control her life (maybe the same guy she sang about on Marrow) and she blames him for getting her to that point of misery.
I'm not very articulate, but there's my two cents.
I think she's referring to a suicide on this one.
