Fear, and panic in the air
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I saw
Is being swept away
When I refuse to let you go
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered almost
I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can't we see
That when we bleed we bleed the same
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I saw
Is being swept away
When I refuse to let you go
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered almost
I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can't we see
That when we bleed we bleed the same
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over

"I can't get it right" is that he can't say the right things to fix it. Everything he does pushes her away further. This makes him more anxious and more despairing. "Since I met you" - he feels that he didn't do or say the right things from the start. He's pushed her away with his actions. He's blaming himself.
He wants her to come back. He wants his loneliness to end. He can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Can't see past this relationship.
He reflects on his life and can't find himself. He doesn't know where he begins. Losing all sense of individuality. He wants the pain to stop but can't see how. He's frustrated because she's blaming him and he's blaming her. They can no longer look objectively at things. He wants her to see that they are both hurting the same way. But she fails to do so.
Nothing he says or does makes any difference. She's moving on regardless. He goes back to despairing about his lost sense of self. Refusing to move on past her once more.
"And I feel like everything I sow
Is being swept away
Well I refuse to let you go"
And also "So scattered and lost"
because so scattered almost doesn't really make much sense.
"And I feel like everything I sow

It seems this song is about how how love is so amazing but so f'd up that when you don't think it's real you just keep doing the wrong things because you don't want to lose it...
But when it's lost it's hard to see why the other person is being so hateful towards you
I'm thinking this song is about the split between your "higher" self and your egocentric world. Peoples self absorption generally will create chaos in their lives. A split between who you really are and what your ego has created. When he sings when we bleed we bleed the same he is saying its one in the same. So I'm thinking this song is about the search for oneself. The rest of the lyrics seem to fit into place from this view. It's a lonely life when you don't know yourself.
For performances of the song during the recent Resistance Tour, Bellamy slightly adjusted the lyrics. Instead of the second instance of "Since I met you" : Bellamy now sings "Since I lost you".
This is likely due to the fact that Matt and Gaia Polloni broke up during the tour.
