Lyrics
If there was a way
To go back before the day
All the people used to say
Stop following me
If there was a way
To go back before the day
All the people used to say
Stop following me
If there was a way
To go back before the day
All the people used to say
Stop following me
If there was a way
To go back before the day
All the people used to say
Stop following me
Always fighting for the wrong before the right
Always hiding in the dark without a light
Always wishing you would stay while I’m telling you to go Always saying things are broken when they’re not
I could practice opposite to what I preach
But that would make a happy ending even farther from my reach
When the world needs a hero I'll be there
Dressed up as the villain I'm right here
And I don't care
I'm sorry no one can save you now
Hey hey look at me
Call me Mr Misery
Looking at the bright side Always seems to hurt my eyes
Hey actually
You should stay away from me Take your glass half full
Throw it from the balcony Throw it from the balcony
You're just another false prophet Selling lies from your pocket You're just another false prophet Selling lies from your pocket
It’s so dark on my side of the street Breaking windows in the mid summer heat
Folded chairs on the burial ground around us Getting ready for the moment they finally find us Empty rooms
Echo the sound of voices
I can hear them saying
I'm sorry no one can save you now Hey hey look at me
Call me Mr Misery
Looking at the bright side
Always seems to hurt my eyes
Hey actually
You should stay away from me Take your glass half full
Throw it from the balcony Throw it from the balcony
You're just another false prophet Selling lies from your pocket You're just another false prophet Selling lies from your pocket
Hey hey look at me
Call me Mr Misery
Looking at the bright side Always seems to hurt my eyes
Hey actually
You should stay away from me Take your glass half full
Throw it from the balcony Throw it from the balcony Throw it from the balcony
You're just another false prophet Selling lies from your pocket You're just another false prophet
