I have been listening to this song for quite some time now, and I have come to the conclusion on what I think this song means. I believe this song refers to self harm, as crazy as it seems. She doesn't want to be known as a cutter and she doesn't want it to be her label. She looked back on what she went through and is sorry for what she used to do. That's what I think it means. More comments guys! Please! <3 Such a powerful song!

I was quite curious, so I googled it. Ariel said she wrote it for a friend who had gone through some abuses when she was writing the lyrics. I like your interpretation though! I don't think that a song HAS to be interpreted only one way. Personally, as I was abused in my youth, I see it relating to that. But I like your thought!
