Misery
Pink & Steven Tyler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 lyrics of the song "Misery" by Pink and Steven Tyler describe the feelings of heartbreak and loneliness. The song's opening line acknowledges the despair that the main character is feeling: "Shadows are fallin' all over town." The line sets a somber mood which continues throughout the song. The character is grappling with being alone after a romantic partner has left them, and the misery they feel in their heart.
Throughout the song, there's a sense of hopelessness that the singer is experiencing as they struggle to come to terms with their heartbreak. They suggest the idea that the key to easing this pain is through the company of others. However, ultimately, the character recognizes that misery is something that might always be following them wherever they go. They attribute the pain of being in love to their constant misery and suffering: "For love to cause me misery."
The song resonates for anyone who has experienced heartbreak or loneliness. It's a reminder that sometimes love comes with pain and disappointment. "Misery" communicates a sense of hopelessness, but it also implies that there might be some sort of comfort in recognizing that this is just the way love is.

Shadows are fallin' all over town
Darkness and sadness loom over the city
Another night and these blues got me down
I'm feeling sad and depressed again tonight
Oh, misery! I sure could use some company
I'm lonely and want someone to comfort me
Since he's been gone I ain't been the same
Without him, I've lost a part of myself
I carry the weight like an old ball and chain
My grief and pain feel heavy and never-ending
Guess its all meant to be
Maybe it's fate that love brings misery
For love to cause me misery
Love seems to always lead to heartache and pain
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Why do I keep falling for love when it always ends in misery?
Seems its my destiny
It feels like it's my fate to always experience heartbreak
And, oh! I've been down this road before
I've gone through this pain and heartache multiple times already
With a passion that turns into pain
My strong love and feelings always end up hurting me
And each I saw love walk out the door
Every time I've lost love, it's felt like a harsh departure
I swore never get caught again
I promised myself I wouldn't fall in love again
But ain't it true? It takes what it takes
Sometimes we can't help who we fall in love with
And sometime we get too smart to late.
Sometimes we think we're too wise and end up realizing it too late
One more heartache for me
I'm about to go through another painful heartbreak
Oh! And oh misery! Oh misery!
The pain and sadness is overwhelming
Why does my heart make a fool of me
I can't help but fall in love, even when it leads to pain
Seems its my destiny
It feels like an inevitable part of my life
For love to cause me misery, oh
Love always leads me down a path of misery
Misery
An expression of deep sorrow and pain
Guess its all meant to be
Maybe it's all part of a bigger plan
For love to cause me misery, oh, no, yeah
I wish love didn't have to bring pain and sadness
