Avril is trying to tell a friend to stop trying to be 'cool', acting like an idiot, wearing the crappy clothes. She wants her friend to be him/herself again. The friend is obviously not listening (you can tell by the lyrics,"and if, you could only let it be, you would see"). I can totally relate to this because when I was in middle school one of my friends acted like that.

This could be about a person she was madly in love with and just... everything faltered. She saw him for who he really was, but she knew that he wasn't worth her tears or any emotion so...there she is in the same situation she's been in too many times before and...she was fed up with feeling that way. He wasn't work the work it took to keep the tears from falling from her eyes. That was the last straw for her...she was completely done.

This is about the teenage world out there. Everyone, well almost everyone, is trying to fit in. Face it, in high school nobody wants to be different, it's scary. So this song is about a girl who is trying to be someone she is not, and letting her friend down by doing that. Something we need to realize is that our friends are OUR friends, not friends with the someone you WANT to be, but with who you are know. Therefore, if you try to become someone else, you're bound to let them down. Obviously, Avril has dlet with this just like everyone else has.
