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
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 sort of loses it's charm when it's true
I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well
Are the rest of you so content, 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
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 battle scars the more attention it gets you
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 sort of loses it's charm when it's true [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/icon_for_hire/get_well.html ]
I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well
Are the rest of you so content, 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
Yeah we should've known it would end this way
What did you expect, pretend it all away
And all we've got left is a sorry pile of hearts
I'm getting out, gonna write myself a new start
Come on dry your eyes, meet me on the other side
Run as fast as you can and we'll make it out alive
We know better now, we don't have to live like this
Go tell them all we don't have to live like this
I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well
Are the rest of you so content, 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
If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital
The song describes what im going through because i tryed to kill myself and this song explains how i'm recovering and how i feel.

What she is talking about is getting over yourself. Stop lingering on the dark times of our lives. She also speaks about all of these people who say that they are wanting to get better and stop trying to give up, and how they never really do. I love this song!!!

I think that it means that yes people are lonely but alot of the time there are people who fake there pain have little cliques like being 'emo' its kinda just all for show for some people

It's means that being lonely isnt all that fun unless youre in a group.

I think that the song itself is about being true to youre self and others, or it will cause pain.

Hurts like "help"? Hurts like "hell" would make more sense.

I think in this song ariel is saying that she's sick of emo culture, where people get used to being miserable and brag about how messed up they are. She doesn't want to be stuck in that rut, she wants to break free, face her past and get well.
