Misery Lyrics

let's make believe i'm insane
let's make believe i know what pain is
let's make believe i'm not loved
let's make believe i care for everyone

i tell myself
maybe your obsessive mean's your great

i'm small, she wanted the tall guy
she's smart, i wanted the artsy girl
so i thank you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
yes, i thank you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
for making my life a misery

let's make it helieve i've gotten laid
let's make it known i cleaned up after myself
let's make it known i turned off the television
and let's make it known i got home on time

i tell myself
maybe your obsessive means your great

i'm small, she wanted the tall guy
she's smart, i wanted the artsy girl
so i thank you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
yes, i thank you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
for making my life a misery

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i havent heard it either, but i might guess its about maybe really liking someone, but not being good enough for them? or about thinking you like someone and realizing you never did...??
