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 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 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 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
