Misery
Calmgrove Lyrics

Talk to me like we used to
The singer wants their friend to communicate with them the way they used to before their relationship weakened.

As if we never lost our shape
The singer wants their friend to talk to them as if nothing has changed and their relationship is still the same as it used to be.

When all we had was growing weak
The singer is lamenting how their relationship is not as strong as it used to be.

I saw the ground slide beneath me
The artist feels like the foundation of their relationship crumbled beneath their feet.

If I told you would you still believe me
The artist wonders if their friend would believe them if they expressed how much their deteriorating relationship is affecting them.

You don't come around and this feeling's empty
The singer feels unfulfilled and empty when their friend is not around.

It helps me to forget
The emptiness they feel when their friend is not around serves as a distraction from their misery.

You're delicate, fading out completely
The artist describes their friend's behavior as fragile and slowly disappearing from their life completely.

It's all a waste if we let go too easy
The artist fears that their relationship will be for nothing if they let it go too easily.

And I haven't seen you in a minute
The artist admits they haven't seen their friend in a while.

Couldn't find you now I'm ruined
The singer feels wrecked that they are unable to locate their friend anymore.

It seems that we, almost forgetfully
The artist observes that their relationship seems to have diminished as if it was unintentional or misguided.

Slipped right through the cracks
The singer feels like their relationship was neglected and overlooked letting it gradually fade away.

Smeared in grey, everyday
The singer feels depressed every day.

(You're resilience fades away)
The singer is recognizing that their friend's resolve has diminished.

Draw the line you left behind
The artist wants their friend to think about the boundaries they have crossed and the situation that their actions have left behind.

(One in the same everytime)
The artist feels like the same thing happens every time they confront their friend about their relationship.

Sink into me, and I fall back to sleep
The singer finds comfort in their friend's presence and is able to find solace in their relationship, which makes them feel at ease.

But if we gravitate, will misery go away
The singer is questioning whether their relationship can bring them happiness if they come together again.

(Light on your end)
The artist sees hope in their friend's behavior and attitude.

But idle in the dark
The artist feels like things are not progressing due to the lack of action on their friend's part.

To rebuild the same day, only to see it fall apart
The artist feels like they continually rebuild their relationship, just to have it fall apart again.

Will you spare me the misery
The singer is asking their friend to help save their relationship to spare them from the misery they feel without them.
