This song is about feeling lonely and negative all the time and needing to get help but your friends all think it's fun and games to pretend like they are unhappy to get attention. She realizes that they don't have to live that way anymore-they don't have to be negative and unhappy, they can live their lives upbeat and happy but they have to get help and some of them in her group need to stop pretending to be unhappy for the attention because one day they will wake up and find that their lies become the truth.
"We throw tantrums like parties
We're not happy 'til everyone knows we're sick
And that's just how we like it
We've hurt bad enough, right, we've earned it"
They have pity parties, and they aren't satisfied until they get the attention they want by constantly trying to make people feel sorry for them. They think it's alright to do so since they really have been in so much emotional pain.
"Don't tell the others but it's all getting old
I mean, how many more times must our stories be told?
And being lonely's only fun in a group
It sorta loses it's charm when it's true"
I imagine her talking to some other person from her group that agrees with her. She is saying that all this negative talk and lies is getting really old, she doesn't want to live this way anymore. She wants to know how many times people are going to try to get pity from others. She realizes that she really IS lonely, she isn't just saying so for attention anymore, and it doesn't seem so great anymore now that it is the truth.
"I meant it when I said
"I wanna get well, I wanna get well"
Are the rest of you so content?
Then stay where you are, but it hurts like help
And I'm sure it's fun at first
Test your pulse and check your vitals
If it's only a game, you lost me
I quit it with the suicidal recital"
This is her talking to the group. She is saying that she is fed up with everything, she really is going to get help (like therapy), and she is asking them if they are okay with living this life that way and if they are to stay in that position but she is leaving the group to live a happier life. She's saying if it was only to get a cry for attention she lost the "game" because she has found all of those lies to be the truth (she is alone, negative and unhappy...she has become her lies for attention)
"So now you know all my secrets
I want out, I know I don't need this
Can you find me friends that don't rank me on what I've been through?
The more our battle scars, the more attention it gets you"
Now the group knows the truth, that she doesn't want to be there anymore. She wants out of the group
