Miserable

It’s late at night and I’m watching clock hands
Feeling solid…. controlled again
Got to work on time and paid some bills
Drove by my dive bar… I skipped that thrill.

I see your flirting come through my phone.
I took a look… pressed ignore.
I don’t know what it is you’d want from me
So I keep telling you, just let me be.

Please just let me be miserable
Can’t you see he was right
Please just let me be miserable
I’m not worth holding at night
Please just let me miserable
Stop being so sweet
If I was worth all this troubling for
Don’t you think I’d have a ring?

I’ve got it down on how to get on by
I’m so damn far from wanting to try
I’ve got my battered heart all stitched up fine
This little girl’s not up for a fight
But I gotta admit your loving feels so good
All that sweetness, some romance too
But I don’t know what it is you want from me
So I keep telling you, just let me be.

Please just let me be miserable
Can’t you see he was right
Please just let me be miserable
I’m not worth holding at night
Please just let me miserable
Stop being so sweet
If I was worth all this troubling for
Don’t you think I’d have a ring?
