I think this song is almost cynical and judgemental towards her friend who is always sad.
"Well I'm back in your good graces again"
Suggests they fight a lot and he/she pushes Zooey away over stupid stuff
"Remember when you told me that I was your only friend?"
I think it's saying, why are you pushing me away if I'm all you have left?
"You made the best of this life..."
The friend is trying their hardest to make the most of a boring lifestyle but their best isn't good enough.
The next line to me is not what I think she's saying. I think she's saying "Dig your heels IN a little girl, put em to the test"
I suggest she's saying that you're being mean to me to test me but I'm just a little girl. Perhaps even that's the way he/she finds enjoyment out of their life.
"You've got to be kind to yourself"
Try to build your self esteem so you don't have to tear others down
