Misery
Peter Lipa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm the kind of guy
Who never used to cry
The world treating me bad
Misery

I've lost her love for sure
I won't see her no more
It's gonna be a drag

Misery

I'll remember all the little things we've done
Can't she see she'll always be the only one?
Lonely one

Send her back to me
'Cause everyone can see
Without her I will be
In misery

I'll remember all the little things we've done
She'll remember and she'll miss her only one
Lonely one

Send her back to me
'Cause everyone can see
Without her I will be
In misery
Without her I will be
In misery
Misery

The world is treating me bad
Misery
