danny swain - misery lyrics

[chorus: collette and danny!]
(misery i, say goodbye)
it’s kinda hard to say
but it’s time that we part ways, hey
(byyyyyyyyeeeee)
life ain’t impossible
pain is inevitable but misery is optional
(maybe if i say goodbye
this one time i’ll be set free
or maybe i’m dreamin’)

[verse 1]
my thoughts are lofty
and to floss would cost me
but i’m awfully thrifty
not at all rick ross, geez
i’m just a member of the working cl-ss
that means i go to work, then cl-ss
it hurts to have the perfect craft
and not be able to go further than thurston ave
when people tell me i’m the sh-t, i just smirk and laugh
when people say i ain’t legit, it hurts me worse than stabs
depression gettin’ in the way of my blessings
now i could easily go pop some purple
pills, load off and curse you and
still feel like the bouncing egg from zoloft commercials
a percocet-addicted
nervous wreck, ballistic
twisted nerd infected with a sickness
worse than hepat-ttis
t-tis, i’m just tryin’ to get this stress to stay behind me
even though it’s hard to come up, like when my lady rides me
find me a way to cope and i’ll say that i did it
misery loves company, but i can’t afford to pay her no visits

[chorus]

[verse 2]
except this one time
your boy d-diggety
had a dream that misery
came to my house invited
i tried to hide, decreased the volume on the tv
thinkin’ she wouldn’t notice
oh this ain’t no way to cheat fate
it’s misery, for pete’s sake!
so i let her in, breathin’ calm
she told me stories like a veteran, vietnam
she knew me better than the mexicans that read my palm
i watched her rummage through old memories i deemed as gone
like um, like when my lady played me
while the radio wouldn’t
labels that asked for demos and stole my instrumentals, d-mn
the time that i got expelled
the time they lost the bail
and i was convinced i’d rot in jail
the times i walked through h-ll, yeah
she mentioned my stillborn with this air of nonchalance
not even my confidantes are aware of this, i just couldn’t bare it
so i told her to leave, pick up her things because she’s stressin’ me
we was cool before but misery gon’ be the death of me, i swear
but she just stood there, scared that i might snap
i looked in her eyes and there were years of disappointment starin’ right back
and i was scared too, scared of what she would say
but i was embar-ssed like i, like i sat through three madea plays
before she walked away, misery stopped
and she said “look at your music career, you’re in the same spot”
“nah,” i said, “don’t even try me
because you used to stand beside me
but i moved so far ahead you’re ninety feet behind me”

[chorus]
