Lyrics
Misery By Design
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.
If you want,
I'll stay far away from you.
Hold my tongue or slice it up.
If thats what you want,
then I'll stay far away from you
ground the things we set
aloft and burned them through.
A wasted premise: "we",
drove until it died then passed it on.
But if it's really all that simple for you to destory me
then it looks to me like you are right where you wanted to be
and it looks to me like its not everything you thought it would be.
so enjoy it, doll, you're free.
enjoy it, doll, you're free.
If its all the same
then I'll stay far away from you
I've apologized for long enough
so what'd you expect?
cause I can't feel that sorry for
any guy who called me a slut.
You've learned to play the victim perfectly
if everythings my fault your not to blame.
For all your simpering diatribes of how I've caused you so much pain...
It looks to me like you are right where you wanted to be
and it looks to me like it's not everything you thought it would be.
