Misery
Evade Escape Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We know there's nothing more
We both know that we're a mistake
But what were you looking for?
Now I can see a better place for me
I never knew what I was missing
I can finally feel
These thoughts from creeping in
Telling me that I am worthless
Now I remember when
The sun would shine on me and my friends
Now I can keep this better place for me
If you could see me now
I can't deal with this heartache
We know there's nothing more
We both know that we're a mistake
But what were you looking for?
Ooooo yeah
I got this misery, misery
Yeah yeah
This misery, girl
I can't deal with this heartache
We know there's nothing more
Got this miser, misery
Now I can see, I'm finally free
I'm in a dreadful situation
No-one ever needs
You never wanted me
I had no strength to leave
You always had your hands around my neck
I could not breathe
Standing tall and proud
I wish you could see me now
I can't deal with this heartache
We know there's nothing more
We both know that we're a mistake
But what were you looking for?
Ooooo yeah
I got this misery, misery
Yeah yeah
This misery, girl
I can't deal with this heartache
We know there's nothing more
Got this miser, misery
You can see me
You you can see me
You can see me now
You can see me
You you can see me
You can see me now
I can't deal with this heartache
You broke me, you took it all
Yeah
Heartache
We know there's nothing more
We both know that we're a mistake
But what were you looking for
Ooooo yeah
I got this misery, misery
Yeah yeah
This misery, girl
I can't deal with this heartache
We know there's nothing more
Got this miser, misery
