Halestorm – I Miss The Misery

Oh, I miss the miseryI’ve been a mess since you stayed
I’ve been a wreck since you changed
Don’t let me get in your way
I miss the lies and the pain
The fights that keep us awake
I’m telling youI miss the bad things
The way you hate me
I miss the screaming
The way that you blame me
Miss the phone calls
When it’s your fault
I miss the late nights
Don’t miss you at all
I like the kick in the face
And the things you do to me
I love the way that it hurts
I don’t miss you, I miss the miseryI’ve tried but I just can’t take it
I’d rather fight than just fake it (’cause I like it rough)
You know that I’ve had enough
I dare ya to call my bluff
Can’t take too much of a good thing
I’m telling youI miss the bad things
The way you hate me
I miss the screaming
The way that you blame me
Miss the phone calls
When it’s your fault
I miss the late nights
Don’t miss you at all
I like the kick in the face
And the things you do to me
I love the way that it hurts
I don’t miss you, I miss the miseryJust know that I’ll make you hurt
(I miss the lies and the pain what you did to me)
When you tell me you’ll make it worse
(I’d rather fight all night than watch the TV)
I hate that feeling inside
You tell me how hard you’ll try
But when we’re at our worst
I miss the miseryI miss the bad things
The way you hate me
I miss the screaming
The way that you blame meI miss the rough sex
Leaves me a mess
I miss the feeling of pains in my chest
Miss the phone calls
When it’s your fault
I miss the late nights
Don’t miss you at all
I like the kick in the face
And the things you do to me
I love the way that it hurtsI don’t miss you, I miss the misery
I don’t miss you, I miss the misery
I don’t miss you, I miss the misery
