Misery
Therapy? Lyrics

Here comes the misery, yeah
I am anticipating extreme pain and disappointment.

Coming back to make me pay, yeah
It feels like the universe has conspired to make me suffer and atone for something.

I wanted you haunting me, but not just yet
I have a morbid longing for the memories of us to visit me, even though it might only bring me pain.

Give the memories time to blossom into regret
I dread the moment my fond recollections turn into bitter disappointment.

You come to my house
You show up in my space to extort and manipulate me.

I don't know what you're talking about
I remain confused by your attempts to talk with me.

I owe you nothing, I owe you nothing
You have no claim over me, and I refuse to let you control me.

You say you need friends or something
You attempt to ensnare me emotionally, by saying you need something from me.

Just shut up, I'm feeling guilty
Your manipulations lead me to feel a sense of responsibility and shame, but I recognize it's all a game.

Get away from me I'm thinking, no way this again
I'm warning you to leave my presence, as I cannot tolerate more of your toxic behavior.

You come and stand and face me, you're betrayed
I realize the extent of your deceit and treachery by the way you confront me.

Like I should say something or ask you to stay
I acknowledge that you seek to provoke me to ask you to stay, but I refuse to cave into your emotional blackmail.

And now you're gonna go all girlie on me
You attempt to play up your vulnerability and appeal to my chivalry in order to get your way.

You always left me wanting, now I want you to leave
You always took advantage of my vulnerabilities and needs, but now I want nothing to do with you.

You can talk about the things that you say you left behind
You try to evoke sympathy by talking about the tough things you've had to deal with, and use it as an excuse for your behavior.

While you lead me down dark alleys in the ghettos of your mind
You manipulate me and lead me into your twisted, unhealthy thoughts and behavior.

You've got that look on your face
Your expression is inscrutable and incomprehensible to me.

That I could never comprehend anyway
I realize you are beyond my help and understanding, and it's futile to try.

Fuck you, waste my time
I express my anger and exasperation, as you are an unwelcome intruder in my life.

And tell me that you're broken hearted now
You fake emotions and try to use them to manipulate me further, but it's too late for that.

A long way back to where you've been
You've made a mess of your life and have a lot of work to do to fix it.

You cry alone, martyrs alone
I recognize you will suffer for your own actions and cannot rely on others to save you.

You better go before I do something I regret
I'm warning you to leave before I lose my temper and do something we'll both regret.

You can run, call the cops
You can escape and try to involve the authorities, but it won't work.

Cry your eyes out, give them the lot
You can try to manipulate others with your tears and drama, but it won't change the fact that you're responsible for your own problems.

You can say I marked your face
You can try to accuse me of something I didn't do, but it won't work.

But you do these things to yourself anyway
You are responsible for your own pain and suffering, and it's time to face up to that fact.

I can never be with you
I recognize the toxic nature of our relationship, and it's time to move on.

This is over, this is over, this is over, hey
I repeat to myself that it's really over, and it's time to let go and move on.
