OK (is this called getting by?)

I was told it only happens
In the middle of the night
But her song's ringing from first daylight
Right to when I close my eyes
So loud it seems she's near me
But she's been taken by the wind
Just a reminder of the mistakes
And the could have, should have beens

Because it's hard when you know that
It's all because of you
The flower crumpled in your fist
That once grew proud and true
But you made this bed
So lie in it
Enjoy a lifetime of the replays as you
Slowly drown in regret

OK, is this called getting by
Rusted dreams left on the front steps
Of the hell that is my mind
OK, now I'm not gonna lie
This path I did choose
Now feels like a noose
That I tied with my own hands
And I can't get loose

This bed's a cold reminder
Of the life I cast aside
When I didn't know my own self
Or the dark clouds deep inside
Now my chest's an empty birdcage
A void of flesh and bone
And my heart sits on your mantle
Because with you it is home

Affection's my weakness
I kill what I love
Yeah I've got this talent
For f**king things up
I'm cursed by that knowledge
And burdened by pain
Memories like dead friends
I mourn them each day
Affection's my weakness
I kill what I love
Yeah I've got this talent
For f**king things up
I'm cursed by that knowledge
And burdened by pain
Memories like dead friends
I mourn them every day

OK, is this called getting by
Rusted dreams left on the front steps
Of the hell that is my mind
OK, now I'm not gonna lie
This path I did choose
Now feels like a noose
That I tied with my own hands
And I can't get loose
OK, I've never been this tired
And the weight that's in my chest
Crushes me more every night
OK, now I'm not gonna lie
This path I did choose
Now feels like a noose
That I tied with my own hands
And I can't get loose

F**kin' hell

OK, is this called getting by
Will you ever win?
Rusted dreams left on the front steps
Of the hell that is my mind
Wouldn't you love to love her?
OK, now I'm not gonna lie
Will you ever win?
This path I did choose
Now feels like a noose
That I tied with my own hands
And I can't get loose
Wouldn't you love to love her?
OK, I've never been this tired
Will you ever win?
And the weight that's in my chest
Crushes me more every night
Wouldn't you love to love her?
OK, now I'm not gonna lie
Will you ever win?
This path I did choose
Now feels like a noose
That I tied with my own hands
And I can't get loose

I'll find the strength to see this through
But spend my life regretting you
