Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh yeah
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 then they seem
I'd rather let them bleed
So let me be
And I'll set you free
I am in misery
There ain't nobody
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined
It's not that I didn't care
It's 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
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
You say your faith is shaken
You may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and
Waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused
So far away from you
I'm getting there
Don't care where I have to run
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
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
(Girl you really got me bad)
(You really got me bad)
(I'm gonna get you back)
(Gonna get you back)
The song "Misery" by Maroon 5 is a powerful representation of the pain and heartache associated with a broken relationship. The lyrics express the frustration of being ignored by a former partner and the desperation of longing for their attention. The fear of vulnerability is highlighted in the line "So scared of breaking it, that you won't let it bend," suggesting that the person is too hesitant to let their guard down and risk being hurt again.
Additionally, the lyrics highlight the way that negative emotions can build and intensify, as exhibited in the lines "Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper than they seem/ You'd rather cover up, I'd rather let them bleed." The singer wants to be authentic in their expression of their pain, while the other person is more concerned with avoiding confrontation and pretending everything is okay.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, conveying the feeling of being isolated and alone in one's suffering, without anyone to turn to for comfort. This sense of despair is emphasized in the repetition of "Why won't you answer me" throughout the song, suggesting a desperate need for closure and understanding.
Overall, "Misery" is a poignant and relatable song that captures the complexities of heartache and longing for lost love.
