Misery's Melody: Lessons Learned in Love
Lyrics
This is what I get
Expressing consequences or outcomes of a situation.
For being your first call when you don't wanna be alone
Reflecting on being the go-to person when the other party is lonely.
This is what I get
Reiterating the negative outcomes of the relationship.
For writing you songs, offering to drive you home
Mentioning the efforts made, like writing songs and offering support.
I thought that you'd be nicer
Disappointment in the other person's behavior.
But we end up here again
Noting a recurring negative pattern in the relationship.
But I guess you lost your Midwest charm
Suggesting a change in the person's demeanor after moving to LA.
When LA took you in
Implies a loss of a charming quality associated with the Midwest.
This is what I get
More negative outcomes for making plans that aren't reciprocated.
For making plans but never hearing back again
Expressing frustration at not receiving responses to plans.
And I should've said
Acknowledging a failure to communicate certain expectations.
All the ways I'd hope that you'd be a better friend
Expressing unmet hopes for a better friendship.
I guess that people change
Recognizing the inevitability of change in people.
And you're a testament of that
Referring to the person as an example of significant change.
And now you use my name
Noting the use of the singer's name without resentment.
But I can't even be upset
Despite negative actions, the singer refrains from getting upset.
'Cause I'm way too optimistic
Describing the singer's optimistic nature.
And you're way too narcissistic
Highlighting the other person's narcissistic tendencies.
And I'd would be there in a minute
Expressing a willingness to be there if reciprocated.
If you could only learn to give it back
Emphasizing the importance of mutual giving in a relationship.
I guess that opposites attract
Suggesting a contrast in personalities, where opposites attract.
Didn't think you'd be like that
Surprise at the unexpected behavior of the other person.
I won't be your second act
Rejecting the role of being a secondary or backup option.
Misery has met its match
Declaring an end to enduring misery in the relationship.
This is what I get
Facing consequences for being too trusting or innocent.
For being too naïve while your lies fly over me
Acknowledging vulnerability to deception and lies.
This is what I get
Negative outcomes for providing support during difficult times.
For being by your side, there for all your surgeries
Being there for surgeries without reciprocity.
And I wouldn't have minded
Expressing tolerance until the damage becomes unbearable.
But the damage starts to sting
Feeling the emotional impact of the relationship turning negative.
Thought that I'd feel bad
Anticipating guilt or remorse when ending the friendship.
When I threw out our friendship ring
Symbolic gesture of ending the friendship through a ring.
'Cause I'm way too optimistic
Reiteration of the singer's optimistic nature despite hardships.
And you're way too narcissistic
Highlighting the other person's narcissism as a barrier to reciprocation.
And I'd would be there in a minute
Expressing a willingness to be supportive if reciprocated.
If you could only learn to give it back
Emphasizing the importance of mutual giving for a healthy relationship.
I guess that opposites attract
Reiteration of the idea that opposites attract.
Didn't think you'd be like that
Surprise at the unexpected behavior of the other person.
I won't be your second act
Rejecting the role of being a secondary or backup option.
Misery has met its match
Declaring an end to enduring misery in the relationship.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repeated declaration that misery has met its match.
Misery has met its match
-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-Misery has met its match
-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-Misery has met its match
-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-This is what I get
Reiterating the experience of being the first call when needed.
Being your first call when you don't wanna be alone
Reflecting on the negative outcomes of being the go-to person.
This is what I get
Expressing consequences for attempting to be a friend.
For tryna be your friend when I guess I should've known
Regret for attempting friendship when it was not advisable.
