This time I won't take you back
Something's come into you
This time I'm gonna breathe a breath
Walking on down the road

I could never promise that you'll never be lonely
But as long as we're together, we can always only be
Misery, doe, doe, doe, doe, doe

Last night I got off the fence
'Cause I won't be the fool
This side the grass is greener than
The garden that I used to grow
Walking on down the road

I could never promise that you'll never be lonely
But as long as we're together, we can always only be
Misery, doe, doe, doe, doe, doe
Misery, misery

I could never promise that you'll never be lonely
But as long as we're together, we can always only be
Misery, yeah, doe, doe, doe, doe, doe

Misery, misery
This time I won't take you back
I won't be the fool

    General Commenti think that possibly this is about a relationship where things were good at first and then the girl probably cheated and the guy finally realized that she was and is just saying that all these bad things have happend and no matter how hard we try it just isnt going to work "as long as were together it can always only be misery" and its just better to be apart "on this side the grass is greener than the garden that i used to grow"

    General CommentThe song is about a relationship that they realize cannot be repaired. He is still in love with her but realizes that the pain of being together is not much easier than the pain of being apart.

    General CommentDuring bridges, there is a little Radiohead-sound like effect. This song is amazing.
