No, this is how it works —
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again.

— Regina Spektor Begin to Hope (2006)

And later say it's all our fault…

Songs (2002)

On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain

Begin to Hope (2006)

I've got a perfect body
But sometimes I forget
I've got a perfect body, because my eyelashes catch my sweat
Yes they do, they do.

Far (2009)
