misery loves company

the wherewithal, you never had the wherewithal
to know the dreams that mean so much to me
to scratch below and for a moment you may know
something that most folks can never see

chorus:
misery loves company but company hates misery
as much as i may want to, i can no longer smile
the thought of you depresses me
i hope you won’t think less of me
i only wish to pass away these moments of my life

your earnest face: i never saw your earnest face
without thinking to myself what could this really mean
could she be real? could another really feel
emotion for these tired tested scenes?

chorus

the willing one: i met the willing one
before we danced, she slipped off her shoes
her whiskey mouth, my punctured wedding vows
the young kid puzzles at his fading youth

chorus
