Go sell your snake oil to someone you used to know
I've heard you whining 'til my motor just won't go
The sky ain't fallin' although I know you wished it would
I almost hate to tell you that I'm leaving you for good
You're only happy when you're miserable
I'm all amped up you're all clamped down
I never seen you with your good half full
Worst case scenario, yeah that's a girl I know
Go tell your mother it was all my fault
Your baby brother I ain't worth my salt
Your bold prediction that I'd bail on you
Turns out my nightmare is your dream come true
You're only happy when you're miserable
Go on and run it in the ground
High time I get it through my own thick skull
Your doomsday fantasy, means more to you than me
You're only happy when you're miserable
Don't know the last time that I've seen you smile
I only know that it's been a long, long awhile
I tried to change you like I thought I should
You pulled the wool on me, it ain't no mystery
You court disaster with a surgeon's skill
I've got good news for you, I've had my fill
The sun is shinin' and you're pullin' out your hair
To close to crazy to pretend I even care
You're only happy when you're miserable
I ramp it up you clamp it down
You've made an art form out of pitiful
It's rainin' cats and dogs
You'd rather snakes and frogs
You're only happy when you're miserable
You're only happy when you're miserable
You're only happy when you're miserable
You're only happy when you're miserable
