Lyrics

Go sell your snake oil to someone you used to know I've heard you whining 'til my motor just won't go The sky ain't fallin' although I know you wished it would I almost hate to tell you that I'm leaving you for good You're only happy when you're miserable I'm all amped up you're all clamped down I never seen you with your good half full Worst case scenario, yeah that's a girl I know Go tell your mother it was all my fault Your baby brother I ain't worth my salt Your bold prediction that I'd bail on you Turns out my nightmare is your dream come true You're only happy when you're miserable Go on and run it in the ground High time I get it through my own thick skull Your doomsday fantasy, means more to you than me You're only happy when you're miserable Don't know the last time that I've seen you smile I only know that it's been a long, long awhile I tried to change you like I thought I should You pulled the wool on me, it ain't no mystery You court disaster with a surgeon's skill I've got good news for you, I've had my fill The sun is shinin' and you're pullin' out your hair To close to crazy to pretend I even care You're only happy when you're miserable I ramp it up you clamp it down You've made an art form out of pitiful It's rainin' cats and dogs You'd rather snakes and frogs You're only happy when you're miserable You're only happy when you're miserable You're only happy when you're miserable You're only happy when you're miserable
