Misery
P!nk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shadows are fallin' all over town
Another night and these blues got me down
Oh, misery! I sure could use some company
Since he's been gone I ain't been the same
I carry the weight like an old ball and chain
Guess its all meant to be
For love to cause me misery
Oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Seems its my destiny
For love to cause me misery

And, oh! I've been down this road before
With a passion that turns into pain
And each I saw love walk out the door
I swore never get caught again

But ain't it true? It takes what it takes
And sometime we get too smart to late.
One more heartache for me
Another night of misery

Oh! And oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why does this
Heart make a fool of me
Seems its my destiny
For love to cause misery, oh
Misery
Guess its all meant to be




For love to cause me misery, oh, no, yeah
Misery

The chorus asks the question, "Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me?" suggesting that no matter how much the singer tries to protect herself, she always ends up getting hurt. She tries to avoid falling in love again but seems to be unable to resist the temptation of a new relationship, even though she knows that it will eventually cause her more misery.
