Misery, loves company When company, won't call You're left with a mouthful of ten thousand wrong words It's all I got It's what I want Sympathy, is everything When everything, fell short A textbook example of childhood in shambles It's not what I want But it's what I got Eventually, I came to see I was seeing things, all wrong I've no expectations of 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 and so much time spent feeling bad Despite all the beauty that drips right off a loved one's lips A childlike reaction that starts and stops with selfishness I try hard to stay awake Long enough to see the day When I can finally say I did something right for a change I turn to you, I turn to you In hopes that I will improve You turn to me, you turn to me and I just lie there half asleep You turn to him, you turn to him Hoping he'll make you whole again I turn to her, I turn to her And in the end we all get burned I try hard to stay awake Long enough to see the day When I can finally say I did something right for a change There's gotta be a change Misery loves company When company won't call You're left with a mouthful of ten thousand wrong words It's all I got It's what I want It's what I want
