Misery loves company when company won't call Your 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 bomb 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 make 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
