James Deacon - Mr Misery Lyrics

If there was a way
To go back before the day
All the people used to say
Stop following me

If there was a way
To go back before the day
All the people used to say
Stop following me

If there was a way
To go back before the day
All the people used to say
Stop following me

If there was a way
To go back before the day
All the people used to say
Stop following me

Always fighting for the wrong before the right
Always hiding in the dark without a light
Always wishing you would stay while I’m telling you to go
Always saying things are broken when they’re not

I could practice opposite to what I preach
But that would make a happy ending even farther from my reach
When the world needs a hero, I'll be there
Dressed up as the villain, I'm right here
And I don't care
I'm sorry no one can save you now

Hey, hey, look at me
Call me Mr Misery
Looking at the bright side
Always seems to hurt my eyes

Hey, actually
You should stay away from me
Take your glass half full
Throw it from the balcony
Throw it from the balcony

You're just another false prophet
Selling lies from your pocket
You're just another false prophet
Selling lies from your pocket

It’s so dark on my side of the street
Breaking windows in the mid summer heat
Folded chairs on the burial ground around us
Getting ready for the moment they finally find us

Empty rooms
Echo the sound of voices
I can hear them saying
I'm sorry, no one can save you now

Hey, hey, look at me
Call me Mr Misery
Looking at the bright side
Always seems to hurt my eyes

Hey, actually
You should stay away from me
Take your glass half full
Throw it from the balcony
Throw it from the balcony

You're just another false prophet
Selling lies from your pocket
You're just another false prophet
Selling lies from your pocket

Hey, hey, look at me
Call me Mr Misery
Looking at the bright side
Always seems to hurt my eyes

Hey, actually
You should stay away from me
Take your glass half full
Throw it from the balcony
Throw it from the balcony
Throw it from the balcony

You're just another false prophet
Selling lies from your pocket
You're just another false prophet
