Misery
♫ Maroon 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So scared of breaking it
That you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters
I will never send
Sometimes these cuts are so much
Deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up
I'd rather let them bleed
So let me be
And I'll set you free

I am in misery
There ain't nobody
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back

Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined
It's not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show
So let me be
And I'll set you free

I am in misery
There ain't nobody
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back

You say your faith is shaken
You may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and
Waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused
So far away from you
I'm getting there
Don't care where I have to run

Why do you do what you do to me, yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me, yeah
Why do you do what you do to me, yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me, yeah

I am in misery
There ain't nobody
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back

Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back

(Girl you really got me bad)
(You really got me bad)




(I'm gonna get you back)
(Gonna get you back)

Overall Meaning

The singer is deeply in love with the person he is singing to but feels that the relationship is not reciprocal. He has written letters to express his feelings, but he has not sent them because he is afraid of being rejected or hurting her. The singer admits that he is struggling and is in deep emotional pain because his love interest is not responding to his feelings. The silence from his love interest is causing him more pain and is turning him into a desperate and confused individual.


The chorus emphasizes the agony that he is going through, with the lyrics "I am in misery, There ain't nobody who can comfort me."

My dad died 23 days ago. He wasn't always a good man or a good father but he did his best and our family owes everything to him. Our relationship wasn't always great but the last 6 months of his life, we reconnected and I got my father back for a while. It's been difficult becoming the new patriarch of the family, even with my wife's support, but I'm doing my best to look out for mom and sis. Rest easy Dad, I'll make sure they're OK. I miss you. fly high with the rest of our family for now, I'll see you again someday.

@Toxikay
