Misery

Brendan Benson · My Old Familiar Friend [2009]

I know it's wrong but what can I do?



Can't help myself whenever I see you



I have these thoughts and I want to confess



I want to get it off my chest



But nobody's listening, nobody's listening



What more can we say when we've said it all?



I lost my nerve and the way with all



You see right through me when you look in my eyes



And I try to apologize



But nobody's listening, nobody's listening



It's been so long since I've seen you



I've found another to cling to



Put me out of my misery



'Cause I can't help myself anymore



I've become my own worst enemy



You say it's weakness and I can't resist



A kiss on the cheek and a slap on my wrist



In a blink of an eye it all disappears



And again I've brought you to tears



But nobody's listening, nobody's listening



When every time I open my mouth



Another page of the book torn out



Put me out of my misery



'Cause I can't help myself anymore



I've become my own worst enemy



(Put me out of my misery)



Don't wanna change it



The days are long and the nights go slow



And the clouds roll in and the cold winds blow



And I wanna go home, I wanna be there with you



And I know that you're lonely and you need me too



And I wish I could touch you



I wanna reach out and touch you



If I could reach out and touch you



Put me out of my misery



'Cause I can't help myself anymore



I've become my own worst enemy



You're so familiar like I've seen you before



My eyes pop out and my jaw hits the floor



I'm on my knees, I can't take anymore



I've got to get you out of my memory



Put me out of my misery
