Misery Loves My Company Lyrics
Three Days Grace
Lyrics
I am in control
I haven't lost my mind
I'm picking up the pieces of the past you left behind
I don't need your condescending
Words about me, looking lonely
I don't need your arms to hold me
‘Cause misery is waiting on me
I am not alone
Not beatin' down just yet
I am not afraid
Of the voices in my head
Down the darkest road
Something follows me
I am not alone
‘Cause misery loves my company
(Misery loves my company)
Leave me in the cold
You'd better run away
Gonna dig a hole
And bury all the memories we've made
I don't need your condescending
Words about me, looking lonely
I don't need your arms to hold me
‘Cause misery is waiting on me
I am not alone
Not beatin' down just yet
I am not afraid
Of the voices in my head
Down the darkest road
Something follows me
I am not alone
‘Cause misery loves my company
(Misery loves my company)
I am not alone
Not beatin' down just yet
I am not afraid
Of the voices in my head
Down the darkest road
Something follows me
I am not alone
‘Cause misery loves my company
(Misery loves my company)
