Hey guys. All your theory's are beautiful and touching, but, they're wrong. This is song is actually about a woman named Layla Palmer, the wife of the lead singer of the band Trust Company. She had/has a disease in which here bones break easily and she is often in pain. Lacey (Flyleaf's lead singer) was touched by the way she always acts happy and smiles even though her life is miserable, and it changed her perspective on life. So, that's the story. But good try everyone else.
