Lyrics

Misery

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I know it's wrong but what can I do?

Can't help myself whenever I see you

I have these thoughts and I want to confess

I want to get it off my chest

But nobody's listening, nobody's listening

What more can we say when we've said it all?

I lost my nerve and the way with all

You see right through me when you look in my eyes

And I try to apologize

But nobody's listening, nobody's listening

It's been so long since I've seen you

I've found another to cling to

Put me out of my misery

'Cause I can't help myself anymore

I've become my own worst enemy

You say it's weakness and I can't resist

A kiss on the cheek and a slap on my wrist

In a blink of an eye it all disappears

And again I've brought you to tears

But nobody's listening, nobody's listening

When every time I open my mouth

Another page of the book torn out

Put me out of my misery

'Cause I can't help myself anymore

I've become my own worst enemy

(Put me out of my misery)

Don't wanna change it

The days are long and the nights go slow

And the clouds roll in and the cold winds blow

And I wanna go home, I wanna be there with you

And I know that you're lonely and you need me too

And I wish I could touch you

I wanna reach out and touch you

If I could reach out and touch you

Put me out of my misery

'Cause I can't help myself anymore

I've become my own worst enemy

You're so familiar like I've seen you before

My eyes pop out and my jaw hits the floor

I'm on my knees, I can't take anymore

I've got to get you out of my memory

Put me out of my misery
