I?ll start this broken heart
I?ll fix it up so it will work again
Better than before
Then I?ll star in a mystery
A tragic tale of all that?s yet to come
Fingers crossed there will be love

But I get carried away with every day
And every fantasy
the deeper the wound,
the harder I swoon and wish that that was me

So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I?m getting used to it, you have to get used to it

I?ll devise the best disguise
A brand new look and take them by surprise
They?ll never guess what?s not inside

I?ll express myself with ease,
With confidence and character complete
With fingers crossed they?ll talk to me

But I get carried away with every page
In every magazine
The cheaper the thrill
the deeper I fill my head with blasphemy

So much to say
But No words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I?m getting used to it, you have to get used to it

I?ll destroy this useless heart
I?ll fuck it up so it?ll never beat again
Not just for me but for anyone

But I get carried away
with every phrase and made up malady
The longer I hide behind these lies,
The more I disintegrate

So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I never get used to it, you just have to live with it

    Song Meaning:
    But I get carried away
    With every phrase
    And made up malady
    The longer I hide
    Behind these lies
    The more I disintegrate
    With so much to say
    But no words to convey
    The loneliness building with each passing day
    You never get used to it
    You just have to live with it

    I like that part bec. it reflects to myself about someone you love but you lie to them that you dont but you have so much to say about someone you love but your too shy. And the lonleliness you feel without the one you love just hurts you more but itll never stop for you and youll just continue your life

    General Comment:I can really identify to this song. I see it as being about someone who's been burned by relationships a lot in the past-- always getting their hopes up, never seeming to be able to find a relationship that works out and keeps them happy. They promise themself that they won't get caught up in things like that again, yet they keep getting swept away in the fantasies and promises; essentially, they follow the call of the sirens though they were told not to. It's a hard cycle, and it just ends in pain.

    General Comment:Wow, I feel a little overwhelmed reading all these interpretations and now I'm questioning my own thoughts, but for some reason I always sort of saw it as just a general loneliness in a big, cruel world. Not specifically having been dumped, that never once occured to me. I remember reading the title then being surprised, because the lyrics really didn't strike me as about a relationship at all.

    For me, I interpreted it as a cry of despair because they've lost hope in the human race. They live life day-to-day and manage to make it through, but really, they're suffering because they don't feel like they can trust anyone. They want to feel like they fit in with people, but really, they don't. However, they pretend to see the world through the same eyes as the optimists, and it's slowly killing them keeping it all bundled up.

    That's just how I've always seen it, but I looking on some of these other theories, they make more sense I suppose. I may not have come to these conclusions since I don't really relate to material abuse of any kind, and despite the title for some reason, this really doesn't strike me as a breakup song.
    I could be wrong, but I just wanted to put my interpretation out there.

    General Comment:Thats just it I read articles about mcs where justin pierre said that he never wanted to write a song about a girl again after he wrote My Favorite Accident.
    But a lot of these songs off of this album seem to be about girls.
    Humor me and just give it a shot. Could this be a song about drugs?
    If any of you have ever had any sort of addiction there are lines in this song that relate. In a sense getting over an addiction and love can be alike. I know its a long shot- but it might just be another way to look at it.
    though overall I still think its about love. but maybe.. just maybe

    General Comment:this song to me is that he has lost his gf and can't deal with his lonlieness and then maybe they have a new boyfriend hence the "he harder I swoon
    And wish that that was me" and also getting used to being single again and trying to deal with what went down. and thinking about how much he wanted to really tell her how he felt but never really did or got the chance. just my own idea. your entitled to yours

    General Comment:I think the song is pretty much about getting carried away and wrapped up in movies, tv, magazines, books anything and wanting to be like whoever it is you're seeing in the stories. But then, he realizes that it's never going to be that way, and he has to get used to his life the way it is. He's upset about his reality and looks to fiction and movies.

    General Comment:This is such a well written song and I love the irony that the tempo is so upbeat.

    This just describes the process that everyone goes through after having their heart broken. When he says "And wish that that was me" you feel like that everytime you see a happy couple together. It just hurts to see that.

    Every girl you talk to you start to just think, is she someone I could have something with? And then just get lost in these types of fantasies.

    "The loneliness building with each passing day
    But I'm getting used to it
    You have to get used to it"
    This is probably the saddest part, as even if you have friends and seemingly are alright you aren't and there is always this lonely void that is hard to explain, and sadly you just learn to live with it.

    After a while you try to be someone you aren't do a degree. I know I did that, go out and get wasted and try to pick up girls, but I just realized one night that this was not me and that it is easy to fall into just drinking and porn and other stuff, but that really does not fill that void in your life, and it does hurt.

    Unfortunately, loneliness is something that is hard to cure, particularly when it is loneliness of the heart.

    General Comment:i think this song is about a guy, who wants to fixed his broken heart. he tries to live with the way his life is, and deal with a breakup. but at the end, he realizes that its hard, and he gives up. so he wants to just be done with everything, destroy his heart, so that it wont hurt him, and nobody else will cause him pain anymore.
