Miss Misery
Alex Hepburn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shut your mouth miss misery
I'll shoot you down
Just you wait and see
Nothing to give
She's gonna take it all
Build you up just to watch you fall

Oh no heard that you're back in town
If you're here who the hell is running hell
I ain't sticking around this time to hear you out
No no
She's stalking me through the concrete jungle
She got me in her sight and the target's locked on me
Oh no I know she wants to give it to me me me

Shut your mouth miss misery
I'll shoot you down
Just you wait and see
Nothing to give
She's gonna take it all
Build you up just to watch you fall

She'll say that she owns you, you owe her
Miss misery
She'll say you deserve her
Gotta shoot her down
Miss misery

I light a candle say a little prayer for me
God knows I could really use the charity
One match is all that I really need
And a little pink can of gasoline
So burn baby burn

Shut your mouth miss misery
I'll shoot you down
Just you wait and see
Nothing to give
She's gonna take it all
Build you up just to watch you fall

She'll say that she owns you, you owe her
Miss misery
She'll say you deserve her
Gotta shoot her down
Miss misery

Graffiti's on the wall
Miss misery won't ya just go home
There's a new knock on my door
Sounds like something
I ain't ever heard before, no

Shut your mouth miss misery
I'll shoot you down
Just you wait and see
Nothing to give
She's gonna take it all
Build you up just to watch you fall

Shut your mouth miss misery
I'll shoot you down
Just you wait and see
Nothing to give
She's gonna take it all
Build you up just to watch you fall

She'll say that she owns you, you owe her
Miss misery
She'll say you deserve her




Gotta shoot her down
