Misery

I've been sippin' rum like it's H2O

Drownin' in spirits while livin' like a ghost

Searchin' for God at the bottom of bottles

And losin' myself in the process

I keep breakin' down like a beat-up truck

Sleepin' at the wheel with my eyes sewed shut

Wallow in pity, the city has plenty like me

How the hell did I wind up here?

Lyin' in a ditch

Talkin' to myself

Like I flipped a switch

Makin' me someone else

Eventually my tendencies

Might push you away

Please, please, stay

Take me for what all I have to offer

I'm a broken mess

Can you stitch me up and mend me?

Can you make me whole again?

Sorry for the hell I drag you under

I did not intend

To become what I am, the shell of a man

Misery really does love company

I've been throwin' stones at the lookin' glass

Denyin' what I am, denyin' what I have, oh

That's illusion I'm choosin', the truth is it chose me

Coursin' through my veins like acid in an IV

Stuck in cruise control, bracin' for the impact

Lyin' in a ditch

Lyin' to myself

And the worst part is

No one's tried to help

My tendencies, they seem to be

Pushing you away

Please, please, stay

Take me for what all I have to offer

I'm a broken mess

Can you stitch me up and mend me?

Can you make me whole again?

Sorry for the hell I drag you under

I did not intend

To become what I am, the shell of a man

Misery really does love company

You deserve the better man

The better man

Maybe I get caught up in the sound

Of you cryin' over me

A vicious cycle

We just keep spinnin' around and around

Take me for what all I have to offer

I'm a broken mess

Can you stitch me up and mend me?

Can you make me whole again?

Sorry for the hell I drag you under

I did not intend

To become what I am, the shell of a man

Misery really does love company

You deserve much better
