Misery doesn't directly affect me Though I've been miserable before
I never knew it source I saw you looming around my place tonight
I'll be quite alright If I don't have to see you tonight
It's been thirty some odd years you've been creeping around me
And you saw my bout with loneliness Saw the rage and the mania in my eyes
And you saw my heart break And that's when you decided to be by my side
I can do without you Even though I say that you don't affect me
I can do without you You really have an effect on me
Misery, if I want you to show up I take with me a dumpster and go to who or something I love
Douse in gasoline, spark a match and toss Let the flames go up
I stay there in pain while I watch You're out of sight but within earshot
People are worried, they say I'm talking to myself a lot
Guess I'm the only one who can see you it'd be nice to not
It would be just fine If you could find a way to go choke and die
It's been thirty some odd years unannounced, dropping in on me
And you saw my bout with loneliness Saw the rage and the mania in my eyes
And you saw my heart break And that's when you decided to be by my side
Move on past me
