Misery
Hey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who′s the stranger outside our door?
Are you just friends or could it be more?
How far will you go? how far will you go?
She doesn't make it easy for you to ignore
You say you′re sorry, before you go
Never loved me, how could i know?
How far did you go? how far did you go?
It doesn't make a difference, now the book is closed
Hard to think twice. a moment of joy for such a high price
Will be surprised what seem to be true there, not to be lies
Now is a fate to live in a mess of the choices you made
Left me alone, returned my heart and turned it to stone
Yes i'm alone, made of stone
Girl, i′m alone
Yes
I′m alone, i'm made of stone
Girl, i′m alone
Now she's left you, don′t be surprised
A dangerous movement drips with ice
How far can it go? how far can it go?
And now you look for comfort inside my eyes
Seekin' and feelin′ deep in your bones
No one to talk to, no place called home
Now where will you go? now where will you go?
Fear controls your mind, and no return to stone
Hard to think twice. a moment of joy for such a high price
Will be surprised what seem to be true there, not to be lies
Now is a fate to live in a mess of a choices he made
Left me alone, returned my heart and turned it to stone
Yes i'm alone, made of stone
Girl, i'm alone
Yes
I′m alone, i′m made of stone
Girl, i'm alone
And so my darling the story goes
Hope is shattered, faith is gone
There′s nowhere to go. there's nowhere to go.
Come back into my twisted, aching, empty arms
Now i′m the stranger outside your door
We're not friends, no, it′s so much more




How far would i go? how far could i go?
This isn't how the story was supposed to go

Look out for yourself
I wake up to the sounds of silence that allows
For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground
Im searching to behold the stories that i told
When my back is to the world that was smiling when i turned
Tell me your the greatest but once you turn. THEY HATE US
OH. The misery everybody wants to be my enemy spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy-y-y-y-y(Look out for yourself)
My enemy (look. look. Look. Look) (look out for yourself) But im ready
Your words up on the walls as you prayin for my falls
And the laughter in the halls

But I'm ready
Your words up on the wall as you're praying for my fall
And the laughter in the halls
And the names that I've been called
I stack it in my mind and I'm waiting for the time
When I show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic
Tell you, you're the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us (ha)
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy (yeah)
(Look out for yourself)
Uh, look, okay
I'm hoping that somebody pray for me
I'm praying that somebody hope for me
I'm staying where nobody 'posed to be
P-posted, being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever, just let me know
The road is long, so put the pedal into the floor
The enemy on my trail, my energy unavailable
I'ma tell 'em, "Hasta luego"
They wanna plot on my trot to the top
I've been outta shape, thinkin' out the box
I'm an astronaut, I blasted off the planet rock
To cause catastrophe and it matters more because I had it
And I had a thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition, kinda shockin'
They want a static with precision, I'm automatic quarterback
I ain't talking sacking pack it, pack it up, I don't panic, batter-batter up
Who the baddest? It don't matter 'cause we at ya throat
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy (I swear)
Pray it away, I swear, I'll never be a saint, no way
My enemy
Pray it away, I swear, I'll never be a saint

(look out for yourself)
I wake up to the sounds, of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around, with my ear up to the ground
I’m searching to behold, the stories that are told
While my back is to the world, that was smiling when I turned
Tell you you’re the greatest…
But once you turn they hate us…
Oh the misery, everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy, everybody wants to be, my enemy
y-y-y-y-y (look out for yourself)
My enemy
y-y-y-y-y (look out for yourself)
But I’m ready…
Your words up on the wall, as you’re praying for my fall
And the laughter in the halls, and the names that I’ve been called
I stack it in my mind, as I’m waiting for the time
To show you what it’s like, to be word-spitting a mic
Tell you you’re the greatest…
But once you turn they hate us… (huh)
Oh the misery, everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy, everybody wants to be, my enemy
y-y-y-y-y (look out for yourself)
My enemy
y-y-y-y-y (look out for yourself)
