Maine, The - Misery Lyrics






I'll say this once again
You people, you aren't my friends
The devil, he can't come in
Tonight, that's right

Looking for misery, but she found me
Lying naked on the floor
I was headed insane, the devil told me his name
But he's not welcome here, anymore

Tell me what do you see
(What do you see?)
When you're looking at me?
(When you're looking at me)
This social responsibility is killing me inside, yeah

Looking for misery, but she found me
Lying naked on the floor
(Stay away, sweet misery)
I was headed insane, the devil told me his name
But he's not welcome here, anymore

Stay away, sweet misery
Stay away, sweet misery

The pressure's building with time
I made it up in my mind
I've got excuses for all these things
That I've tried in my life

Looking for misery, but she found me
Lying naked on the floor
(Stay away, sweet misery)
I was headed insane, the devil told me his name
But he's not welcome there (he's not welcome) anymore

Stay away, sweet misery
Not welcome anymore
Stay away, sweet misery

  66. H.... A....

    Who's Listening In 2016?

    H.... A....

    2016 SQUAD LIT !! WELCOME NEW FANS!!XD

    H.... A....

    Juliasaurus American Candy & Forever Helloween Are The Best Albums You Should Listen Them

    H.... A....

    Hammad A. Butt nooo pioneer & good love is the best

    H.... A....

    Erin McAdam yes they are! i agree but you know what, american candy & forever helloween i love lyrics they're like ever green

  67. N.... v....

    This song has my heart

  68. A.... W....

    I love this hard rock sound the Maine had in this album, I love their new stuff too but this rock sound is what I fell in love with

    A.... W....

    i kinda wish they kept this. Its so real

  69. s.... s....

    It's really funny to see how people are going crazy over the that says, "laying naked on the floor" when they don't even realize the personal connection that the writer of this song has with the lyrics. It's very sad to see how little they think about the song, even when it is talking about something very personal and strong.

    s.... s....

    Lol exactly. Sadly, most of The Maine's fanbase comprises of horny teenage girls who just click on these videos for John. I bet they hardly care about the lyrics or the thought behind it. Had John been ugly and unattractive, the case would've been the opposite.

  70. C.... B....

    que homens

  71. t.... f....

    one of my favorite songs!

  72. a.... ....

    i get chills everytime listening to this song. it's one of my faves!

  73. T.... ....

    Don't quit your day job.

  74. O.... M....

    "tell me what do you see, when you're looking at me ?"
    I see that "there's beauty and grace in the flaws of your face"
    This just came to my mind while listening to this song and i had to put in there x)

    O.... M....

    yes!!!!!!

    O.... M....

    "you can dye your hair, buy new clothes. You can change your shoes, rearrange your nose, but it don't change the fact that you're ugly on the inside"

    O.... M....

    This is beautiful.

  75. S.... �....
