Sweet Misery
Lyrics © 1981 Paul R. Anderson; Re-write & Recording © 2014 Also Paul Publishing

It’s so hard to reason in this frame of mind
Too hard to smile when my heart is blind
You are somewhere else in someone else’s company
And you left me to dwell in my sweet misery.

Can you break away for a little while?
Come and stay with me so I can make you smile.
I am drawn to be near you. And yet you can’t be true to me.
You just cast me away to my sweet misery.

Oo Sweet Misery
Please understand what you do to me.
Oo Sweet Misery
Misery’s getting to me.

(Bridge)
Why should I miss a feeling like this?
I remember what happened before.
It all can be triggered with one little kiss
And you always come begging for more.

It’s not easy to know you when you’re just not there.
Impossible to show you if you just don’t care.
You are wrong to pretend; take this rope from ‘round my sanity
I have come to the end of my sweet misery.

Oo Sweet Misery
Please understand what you do to me.
Oo Sweet Misery
Misery’s getting to me.
