Misery Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm alone in misery
I couldn't find nobody to love, poor me
I've been hurt and I've been scorned
And had no lovin' since you've been gone

[Chorus]
Misery (Misery), oh misery (Misery)
You're killing me (Misery, misery)

[Verse 2]
Long, long ago
I said I wouldn't fall in love no more
Now since I've lost everything I had
My heart's broken and I'm feeling so sad

[Chorus]
Misery (Misery), oh this misery (Misery)
It's killing me (Misery, misery)

[Bridge]
Day and night I pace the floor
Hoping I'll be happy once more
My life's a wreck, and it's such a shame
I lost my girl, and I'm the one to blame
[Chorus]
Now now, misery (Misery), oh this misery (Misery)
It's killing me (Misery, misery)

[Verse 2]
I said-a long, long, long ago
I said I wouldn't fall in love no more
Now since I've lost everything I had
My heart's broken and I'm feeling so sad

[Chorus]
No no (Misery), misery, oh, misery (Misery)
You're killing me (Misery, misery)

[Outro]
Get away, get away, get away from me (Misery)
Oh misery (Misery)
You're killing poor me (Misery)
No no, get away, get away (Misery)
Oh, misery, you're killing me (Misery, misery)
Oh, misery

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
