If Not for Misery - The Rembrandts

I’ve done my best to help you understand

A part of me that wants to take your hand, and pull you close

To dry your tears… But after all these years

WE NEED TO LET IT GO, IT’S NOT THE LOVE WE USE TO KNOW

OH LISTEN CAN’T YOU SEE

IF NOT FOR MISERY, WE’D HAVE NOTHING LEFT AT ALL

So hard we try, to make it like before

Beyond these walls, there must be something more

More than this

Where love won’t die-It's time to say goodbye

(CHORUS)

Now it’s a game of Chutes and Ladders

We only play to win, and nothing else much matters

Remember this to your own heart be true

And if you are, your heart will see you through

(CHORUS 2x)

Oh why can’t you see, if not for misery, we’d have nothing left at all
