Misery
Glee Cast(글리 캐스트) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah(ooh)
Oh yeah(ooh, ah)
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 than they seem
You'd rather cover up
I'd rather let them be
So let me be
And I'll set you free

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

Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine(mixes in with mine)
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined(completely intertwined)
It's not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know(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,oh yeah

Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me,oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back

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

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,oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back

Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad




Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
