Thank Misery lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I hadn't always been depressed
I'd have climbed that golden ladder of success
And if I hadn't been so blue
Thank misery for bringing me to you

[Verse 2]
If only I'd stayed in my home town
Married my old sweetheart, settled down
Watched my belly swell a time or two
Thank misery for bringing me to you

[Bridge]
Thank misery, the years I've lost
The drinks I've served, the friends I've tossed
Thank misery, she's had enough of me

[Verse 3]
If I could go back in a time machine
I wouldn't buy a ticket, well, maybe
But I'm so happy now I swear it's true
Thank misery for bringing me to you

[Cello Solo]

[Verse 4]
But I'm so happy now I swear it's true
Thank misery for bringing me
God bless the pain that set me free
Thank misery for bringing me to you
