Misery Lyrics

Does anyone know what the first verse means? Besides that, I think it's about a girl who broke his heart, and gave him no answers/reasons for the break up? Haha, just a stab in the dark. And I think he's saying he's going to get her back for the misery she has caused him.

"Its not that I didnt care Its that I didnt know Its not what I didnt feel, Its what I didnt show"

Maybe he didn't show her love/she didn't feel loved, so she left, and now he's hurting. I'd love to hear some other interpretations of this song!

I think the song itself is about a relationship that isn't working, but even though he knows it's not working, it's still hard to just walk away from. He's so in love with her that even though he knows she's bad for him, he can't just quit her. He's in misery to be with her but in misery when he's not with her, and he thinks she's playing with his heart.

Specifically, in the first verse, I think he's trying to end it but she won't let him (So scared of breaking it but YOU won't let it bend). ...

Thanks for the reply, that definitely makes sense! Sad in a way haha.

i thin mayb he did something like chest on her or smn and shes like figure it out urself...thats wut i did with my x
