What's happened?
We used to be
Wild and free
But you beat me down
Your tongue reviles
Then reconciles
I can't please you
You hid your mind
For another time
Made up your mind
That reality is only misery
Oh, in misery now
Misery now, me
See in misery now
Misery now, me
Just leave in misery now
Misery now, me
Be in misery now
Misery now, me
Resentment built
A fortress now stands
Holding my hand
It's all for you
I gave you cake
But you ate it too
You run away
Neglectful of
My love
So now you say
That reality is only misery
Oh, in misery now
Misery now, me
See in misery now
Misery now, me
Just leave in misery now
Misery now, me
Be in misery now
Misery now, me
But I'm too blame
For giving it my name
Is this my fate
Until that peaceful day?
The air I breathe
Was breathed in before me
So my life's disease
Is only misery
Oh, in misery now
Misery now, me
Just leave in misery now
Misery now, me
Just breathe in misery now
I'm in misery now, me
See in misery now
Misery now, me
