Misery, don't you know me?
I know you, so very well.
Misery, 'welcome back' you say.
Well I must be back in hell.
Nobody knows me, the way that you do.
Stripped of all dignity, no sense of pride.
When no-one seems to see the storm I'm fighting through.
That's when I'm sure to know you by my side.
Misery, don't you know me?
I know you, so very well.
Misery, welcome back you say.
Well I must be back in hell.
Misery, you've been good to me.
Such a sympathetic ear.
Misery, you say 'come and stay.
'Cuz for you I'm always here'.
So long I fought the good fight, to get nowhere.
In fact, I kept on slipping 'neath the floor.
So who could really blame me if I rest awhile.
After all I'm feeling rather poor!
Misery, you've been good to me.
Such a sympathetic ear.
Misery, you say 'come and stay,
'Cuz for you I'm always here.'
Misery was there when I was all alone.
Didn't have a friend, or a place to call home.
Gave me a place to rest, and I wish I could stay.
But you should know its the same old show
And so I've got to say:
Misery, nothing left to see.
I am just an empty shell.
Misery, get away from me!
'Cuz I'm trying, trying to get well!
Misery, I will get away.
Even if I have to crawl.
Misery, I guess I finally see.
That the climb is worth the fall.
Misery, nothing left to see,
I am just an empty shell.
Misery, get away from me!
'Cuz I'm trying, trying to get well.more
