Misery loves company, but when company won't call
You're left with a mouthful of ten thousand wrong words
It's all I got, but it's what I want

Sympathy was everything when everything fell short
A text book example of a childhood in shambles
It's not what I want, but it's what I got

Eventually I came to see that I was seeing things all wrong
I put expectations on people who gave in -- my broken heart beats like a bom

Life burns up faster than flames to a photograph
A big stack of mishaps so much time spent feeling bad
Despite all the beauty that drips right off our loved one's lips
A child like reaction that starts and stops in selfish fits

I'm trying hard to stay awake long enough to see the day
Where I can finally say I did something right for a change

I turned to you in hopes that I will improve
You turn to me but I just lie there half asleep
You turn to him hoping he'll making you whole again
I turn to her and in the end we all get burned

I'm trying hard to stay awake long enough to see the day
Where I can finally say I did something right for a change
Because god I need a change
Misery loves company, but when company won't call
You're left with a mouthful of ten thousand wrong words

It's all I got, but it's what I want
