Parents need to know that although you might see a Parental Advisory sticker on this single, the song is most definitely NOT offensive; in fact, it's perfectly safe for most tweens and teens. There's one racy line, but nothing really explicit. The highly emotional level of the song might make it too much for younger listeners, but angst-ridden teens should revel in the drama.
Positive messages: Romantic complexities and the human condition are dissected on this sentimental ballad.
Positive role models:Empathy is a big theme, with Pink showing listeners that they aren't the only ones who have been lonely, desperate, or heartbroken. "Have you ever hated yourself; for staring at the phone, your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone."
Sex:Only one line that might raise some eyebrows: "Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?"
