They say that misery Is the greatest inspiration They say that being happy Just makes you dumb They say you're boring when When you've got a girlfriend I think they just don't know How good it feels to be in love
Let someone else write The songs that make you cry Let someone else write All the really moving lines Let someone else be The ones they call amazing And I'll be happy here Happy right by your side
They say that misery Is the only inspiration They say that being happy Just makes you dumb They say you're boring when When you've got a girlfriend I think they just don't know How good it feels to be in love
Because all I know Is how I feel when I'm around you I could take the whole world on if I had to You inspire me in ways No one will ever know And it breaks my heart Every single minute I'm alone
They say that misery Is the greatest inspiration They say that being happy Just makes you dumb They say you're boring when When you've got a girlfriend I think they just don't know How good it feels to be in love
But now I think I know What they were talking about But I still refuse to believe it No I don't want to have to write the song Oh no it can't be me But I'd have to agree that Misery sure makes you Want to play guitar and sing
Pour your heart out On six strings Write words that are Oh so embarrassing Spill your guts To anybody that'll listen Oh now I know what I've been missing
They say that misery Is the greatest inspiration They say that being happy Just makes you dumb They say you're boring when When you've got a girlfriend I think they just don't know How good it felt to be in love
