[Intro]
(Ooh)
[Verse 1]
I called an old friend, she's been having it hard
Sleeping without a sleeping bag, in her yard
She cried and said, "I miss when we were children"
Can't go back to work with her mental condition
[Pre-Chorus]
I went to Heaven
No one was there but me
[Chorus]
And my misery (Huh)
Made me late for this meeting 'cause I was crying
Oh, my misery (Huh)
Hundred fifty a week on therapy
Oh, my misery (Huh)
It sounds like a bird when it starts to sing
Oh, my misery, hope it never leaves
My misery keeps me company, my misery
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh) My misery
[Verse 2]
My grandpa sold all her things, except the white dress
Hung up for years, all alone in the closet
When he died, I took all their Jesus paintings
I don't know why, guess I like the suffering
[Pre-Chorus]
I went to Heaven
No one was there but me
[Chorus]
And my misery (Huh)
Made me late for this meeting 'cause I was crying
Oh, my misery (Huh)
Hundred fifty a week on therapy
Oh, my misery (Huh)
It sounds like a bird when it starts to sing
Oh, my misery, hope it never leaves
My misery keeps me company, my misery
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh) Oh, my misery, ha
(Oh)
[Bridge]
(Ooh) The preacher's son gave me a ring
(Ooh) The night before I left Missouri
(Ooh) Lost my virginity at thirteen
(Ooh) Jesus Christ, that's early
I saw my abuser in a dream
I somehow felt some empathy
I realized the pain that he's in would always be worse for me and my misery
(Ooh) Oh, ah
(Ooh)
My misery
Is a candle I lit on my birthday
It's icing on a cake
And I eat every piece
My misery
It's kinda sweet
It's kinda sweet
My misery
I blow out the candles so I can see, yeah
[Chorus]
My misery (Huh)
It might be the reason that I am smiling
My misery (Huh)
Hundred fifty a week on therapy
My misery (Ooh)
It sounds like a bird when it starts to sing (When it starts to sing)
My misery (My misery)
My misery keeps me company, my misery
My Misery was written by Amy Wadge & Jake Wesley Rogers & Mike Sabath.
My Misery was produced by Mike Sabath.
Jake Wesley Rogers released My Misery on Fri Apr 18 2025.
The original title of “My Misery” was “My Missouri”, my home state. Sometimes it feels like “misery” is my home state, too. All the cages of my life that I’ve felt trapped in that have become my “home”. Writing this song and releasing it now is helping me to grow beyond the cage and liberate myself,...
