I called an old friend she's been having it hard
Sleeping without a sleeping bag in her yard
She cried and said "I miss when we were children"
Can't go back to work with her mental condition

I went to heaven
No one was there but me

And my misery
Made me late for this meeting 'cuz I was crying
My misery
Hundred-fifty a week on therapy
My misery
Sounds like a bird when it starts to sing
My misery hope it never leaves
My misery keeps me company, my misery

My misery!

My grandpa sold all her things except the white dress
Hung up for years all alone in the closet
When he died I took all their Jesus paintings
I don't know why guess I like the suffering

I went to heaven
No one was there but me

And my misery
Made me late for this meeting 'cuz I was crying
My misery
Hundred-fifty a week on therapy
My misery
Sounds like a bird when it starts to sing
My misery hope it never leaves
My misery keeps me company, my misery

My misery!

The preacher's son gave me a ring
The night before I left Missouri
Lost my virginity at thirteen
Jesus Christ, that's early!
I saw my abuser in a dream
I somehow felt some empathy
I realized the pain that he's in
Would always be worse than me and my misery

My misery
Is a candle I lit on my birthday
It's icing on a cake and I eat every piece
My misery
It's kinda sweet, it's kinda sweet
My misery
I blow out the candle so I can see

My misery
Might be the reason that I am smiling
My misery
Hundred-fifty a week on therapy
My misery sounds like a bird when it starts to sing
(When it starts to sing)
My misery
My misery keeps me company, my misery
