Misery
Confessions of a Struggling Heart: Brendan Benson's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
I know it's wrong
I am aware that my actions are morally wrong.
But what can I do
I feel powerless to change the situation.
Can't help myself whenever I see you
I can't control my impulses when I see you.
I have these thoughts and I want to confess
I have inner thoughts that I want to confess.
I want to get it off my chest
I want to express my feelings and relieve myself of guilt.
But nobody's listening
No one is paying attention to what I have to say.
Nobody's listening
No one is paying attention to what I have to say (repeated).
What more can we say when we've said it all
We've exhausted all words in our communication.
I lost my nerve and the wherewithal
I lost my courage and determination.
You see right through me when you look in my eyes
You see through me when you look into my eyes.
And I try to apologize
I attempt to apologize, but it's challenging.
But nobody's listening
No one is listening to my apologies.
Nobody's listening
No one is listening to my apologies (repeated).
It's been so long since I've seen you
It's been a significant amount of time since I've seen you.
I've found another to cling to
I've found someone else to rely on emotionally.
Put me out of my misery
Please end my suffering.
'Cause I can't help myself anymore
I can't control my actions anymore.
I've become my own worst enemy
I have become my own worst adversary.
You say it's weakness and I can't resist
You claim it's a weakness, and I can't resist it.
A kiss on the cheek and a slap on my wrist
A mix of affection and reprimand.
In the blink of an eye it all disappears
Everything can disappear in an instant.
And again I've brought you to tears
I've caused you to cry again.
But nobody's listening
No one is paying attention to my remorse.
Nobody's listening
No one is paying attention to my remorse (repeated).
When every time I open my mouth
Every time I speak, I damage our relationship.
Another page of the book torn out
I'm constantly causing harm and regret.
Put me out of my misery
Please end my suffering.
'Cause I can't help myself anymore
I can't control my actions anymore.
I've become my own worst enemy
I have become my own worst adversary.
Don't want to change it
I don't want to change the situation.
The days are long and the nights go slow
The days are dragging, and the nights are tedious.
The clouds roll in and the cold winds blow
Challenges and difficulties arise.
And I want to go home I want to be there with you
I yearn to be with you and comfort you.
And I know that you're lonely and you need me too
I acknowledge your loneliness and need for me.
And I wish I could touch you
I wish I could physically connect with you.
I wanna reach out and touch you
I desire to reach out and touch you.
If I could reach out and touch you
If only I could reach out and touch you.
Put me out of my misery
Please end my suffering.
'Cause I can't help myself anymore
I can't control my actions anymore.
I've become my own worst enemy
I have become my own worst adversary.
You're so familiar like I've seen you before
You are so familiar, as if I've encountered you before.
My eyes pops out and my jaw hits the floor
A surprising and intense reaction.
I'm on my knees I can't take anymore
I am emotionally overwhelmed and defeated.
I've got to get you out of my memory
I need to erase you from my memory.
Put me out of my misery
Please end my suffering.
