Here comes the misery, yeah yeah
Coming back to make me pay, yeah yeah
I wanted you haunting me, but not just yet
Give the memories time to blossom into regret
You come to my house, I don't know what you're talking about
I owe you nothing, I owe you nothing, you say you need friends or something
Just shut up, I'm feeling guilty, get away from me I'm thinking
No way this again
You come and stand and face me, you're betrayed
Like I should say something or ask you to stay
And now you're gonna go all girlie on me
You always left me wanting, now I want you to leave
You can talk about the things that you say you left behind
While you lead me down dark alleys in the ghettos of your mind
You've got that look on your face, that I could never comprehend
Anyway
Fuck you waste my time
And tell me that you're broken hearted now
A long way back to where you've been
You cry alone, martyrs alone
Here comes the misery, yeah yeah
Coming back to make me pay, once again
I wanted you haunting me, but not just yet
You better go before I do something I regret
You can run, call the cops, cry your eyes out, give them the lot
You can say I marked your face, but you do these things to yourself anyway
I can never be with you, this is over, this is over, this is over
Hey, hey, hey
Coming back to make me pay, yeah yeah
I wanted you haunting me, but not just yet
Give the memories time to blossom into regret
I owe you nothing, I owe you nothing, you say you need friends or something
Just shut up, I'm feeling guilty, get away from me I'm thinking
No way this again
Like I should say something or ask you to stay
And now you're gonna go all girlie on me
You always left me wanting, now I want you to leave
While you lead me down dark alleys in the ghettos of your mind
You've got that look on your face, that I could never comprehend
Anyway
And tell me that you're broken hearted now
A long way back to where you've been
You cry alone, martyrs alone
Coming back to make me pay, once again
I wanted you haunting me, but not just yet
You better go before I do something I regret
You can say I marked your face, but you do these things to yourself anyway
I can never be with you, this is over, this is over, this is over

About somebody not wanting to have to face a lover they've recently broken up with. A lot of songs on Infernal Love fit together like that (and so do the two b-sides from the album's singles, too), almost like a jumbled up concept album. For example, it could go:
Epilepsy (Infatuation) Loose (A great time together) A Moment Of Clarity (Recognition of the relationship's failures) Nice Guys (The start of the deterioration) Our Love Must Die (The breakup) Bowels Of Love/Misery (A subsequent confrontation from both sides of the argument) Me Vs You (Failed attempt at reconciliation) Diane (I know it's a cover, but it could be revenge) 30 Seconds (Despair/Hope)
Dunno how to fit Stories, Jude The Obscene or Bad Mother in, though... but a lot of these songs seem to reference some sort of gap in age and experience - such as A Moment Of Clarity ('Your innocence is cruel'), Bowels Of Love ('Naive and ugly'), Me Vs You ('Feeding on your innocence'), Diane ('Hey, little girl...'), Nice Guys ('Took this girl in desperation') and Our Love Must Die ('My dear young lover'). Well, it makes sense to me.
