I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
Always want what I haven't got
Wanna be what I am not
You wish me somewhere I can't be seen
I am caught where I've never been
Your feelings become mine for a while
As I realize your stronger than I
The freak show is about to begin
As I turn around and let you in
And let you in
And I let you in
I don't know what I wanna be
Searching for someone, don't look at me
I just want what I haven't got
I just shoot and something dies
Find it hard to explain
So how can you understand
I'm killing things with this razor blade
Makin' sure a price gets paid
A price gets paid
I'm happy with my misery
Please leave me be
There's nothing wrong with me, you see
I'm happy with my misery
I'm happy
I'm happy
Though I try to kick you out of this haze
Been like this for weeks and days
What is now and what was said
I really don't know
I really can't tell
Creeping along these walls of hate
Quiet, don't wanna complicate
Saying to myself once more
Forever, never, nevermore
Nevermore
Get the picture - Get the picture
I'm happy with my misery
Please leave me be
There's nothing wrong with me, you see
I'm happy with my misery
Happy with my misery
Please leave me be
There's nothing wrong with me, you see
I'm happy with my misery
Happy with my misery!
Please leave me be!
There's nothing wrong with me, you see!
I'm happy with my misery!!
I'm happy with my misery
Please leave me be
There's nothing wrong with me, you see
I'm happy with my misery
Ah!
Wanna be what I am not
You wish me somewhere I can't be seen
I am caught where I've never been
Your feelings become mine for a while
As I realize your stronger than I
The freak show is about to begin
As I turn around and let you in
And let you in
And I let you in
I don't know what I wanna be
Searching for someone, don't look at me
I just want what I haven't got
I just shoot and something dies
Find it hard to explain
So how can you understand
I'm killing things with this razor blade
Makin' sure a price gets paid
A price gets paid
I'm happy with my misery
Please leave me be
There's nothing wrong with me, you see
I'm happy with my misery
I'm happy
I'm happy
Though I try to kick you out of this haze
Been like this for weeks and days
What is now and what was said
I really don't know
I really can't tell
Creeping along these walls of hate
Quiet, don't wanna complicate
Saying to myself once more
Forever, never, nevermore
Nevermore
Get the picture - Get the picture
I'm happy with my misery
Please leave me be
There's nothing wrong with me, you see
I'm happy with my misery
Happy with my misery
Please leave me be
There's nothing wrong with me, you see
I'm happy with my misery
Happy with my misery!
Please leave me be!
There's nothing wrong with me, you see!
I'm happy with my misery!!
I'm happy with my misery
Please leave me be
There's nothing wrong with me, you see
I'm happy with my misery
Ah!

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
