Misery
Maroon 5ฬ Lyrics
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 about being in a painful love situation where one partner is scared of getting hurt and won't allow the relationship to bend or move forward. The first verse talks about how the person has written 200 letters to their partner, but won't send them, and how the cuts are deep but the partner just covers them up, while the person wants to let them bleed. This shows the difference in how they handle pain and emotions. The chorus expresses the person's misery and frustration with the silence of their partner, who won't answer them or offer any comfort, which is killing them slowly. They feel that their partner has really gotten them bad, but they are determined to get them back or find a way to fix the relationship. The second verse talks about how their physical connection is strong, but the emotional connection is lacking because the person didn't know how to express their feelings or show their partner that they care. The bridge talks about how the person is desperate and confused, but still waiting for their partner, who keeps them wide awake and waiting for the sun. They don't care where they have to run to get to them, but they just want some kind of answer, explanation or resolution.

Oh yeah
An enthusiastic but uncertain exclamation
So scared of breaking it
That you won't let it bend
You are afraid of damaging the relationship and therefore refuse to compromise
And I wrote two hundred letters
I will never send
I have written countless messages to you, but have refrained from sending them
Sometimes these cuts are so much
Deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up
I'd rather let them bleed
Emotional scars can be more severe than they appear, you prefer to hide them while I prefer to confront and heal them
So let me be
And I'll set you free
If you give me space, I will release you from any emotional burden you may feel toward me
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
I am deeply unhappy and no one can alleviate my despair. Your lack of response to me is exacerbating my pain. You have hurt me badly, but I will seek revenge
Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined
I love how our bodies merge and the way our intimacy feels
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
My actions or words may have made it seem like I did not care about you, but the truth is that I did not know how to express my feelings for you
You say your faith is shaken
You may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and
Waiting for the sun
You claim to have lost faith, but perhaps you are wrong. Your absence keeps me up at night, waiting for a resolution
I'm desperate and confused
So far away from you
I'm getting there
Don't care where I have to run
I am in a state of desperation and uncertainty, but I will try to get to you, even if it means running away
Why do you do what you do to me, yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me, yeah
I'm trying to understand the reasons for your actions toward me, but you won't give me an explanation
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)
You have hurt me in a significant way, but I will seek revenge and try to make you feel the same pain
