Lyrics

Misery and Happiness

Misery and happiness are such thick siblings
Yes I know
Love will take you out
And pain will bring you home
But you can come between them
You can start a family feud
But whose side will you take
Yeah, tell me, who?d you choose?

CHORUS
I?d choose love
Even though I don?t really fancy its chances
I?d choose love
Even though it?s weak and naïve, just like me
I?d choose love
Even though the odds are stacked against it
Like the lamest horse in the race
I?d choose love
Even though people regularly spit in its face

Jealousy was a concept
Of which I was blissfully unaware
Until I met you
And soon after I met her
Oh why do beautiful things have such dark shadows?
Why do beautiful things have shadows at all?

Take me to the canal
I?m in need of some redemption
Take me to the canal
Watch the waters flowing
Watch your breath coming and going
Oh would it change the world
If I were to place my lips upon your skin?
That I even need to ask shows the sorry state I?m in

But I?ll never go bitter
Never grow bitter
I?ll never go bitter, no
?Cause bitterness kills hope
And hope is all I have

CHORUS

I?d choose love
Even though it means fighting tooth and nail

These are my songs and not my life
