Long Enough To Say…
Misery loves company, but when company won’t call
You’re left with a mouthful of ten thousand wrong words
It’s all I got, but it’s what I want
Sympathy was everything when everything fell short
A text book example of a childhood in shambles
It’s not what I want, but it’s what I got
Eventually I came to see that I was seeing things all wrong
I put expectations on people who gave in—my broken heart beats like a bomb
Life burns up faster than flames to a photograph
A big stack of mishaps so much time spent feeling bad
Despite all the beauty that drips right off our loved one’s lips
A child like reaction that starts and stops in selfish fits
I’m trying hard to stay awake long enough to see the day
Where I can finally say I did something right for a change
I turned to you in hopes that I will improve
You turn to me but I just lie there half asleep
You turn to him hoping he’ll making you whole again
I turn to her and in the end we all get burned
I’m trying hard to stay awake long enough to see the day
Where I can finally say I did something right for a change
Because God I need a change
Misery loves company, but when company won’t call
You’re left with a mouthful of ten thousand wrong words
It’s all I got, but it’s what I want

Wow - did you write this or is it a song? It’s beautiful.
