Hi Misery, My Old Friend - ArlenaZara
The streetlights shimmer
Through the pouring rain
A familiar chill that
Knows my name
The world is asleep now
Wrapped up safe and warm
But I'm standing at the window
Weathering the storm
I thought I left you back there
In a different year
But you found my address
You wiped away my fear
Of being truly empty
Of being truly free
You're the only one who stayed close to me
Hi misery, my old friend
It seems we're destined to meet again
You know all my secrets
You know every tear I've cried
You're the only company
That sits right by my side
We share this cup of coffee
In the silent lonely night
You remind me how the darkness
Always kills the light
Yeah, we know how this story always starts and ends
Hi misery, my old friend
I tried the happy songs
I tried the cheerful crowd
Laughed a little too quickly
Spoke a little too loud
I tried to fill the void
That my lost love had made
But every new connection
Eventually starts to fade
You're reliable misery
Always there on time
The only constant rhythm
In this broken fractured rhyme
You don't promise sunshine
You don't pretend to mend
You just sit here with me
Right until the end
Hi misery, my old friend
It seems we're destined to meet again
You know all my secrets
You know every tear I've cried
You're the only company
That sits right by my side
We share this cup of coffee
In the silent lonely night
You remind me how the darkness
Always kills the light
Yeah, we know how this story always starts and ends
Hi misery, my old friend
They say that time will heal the wounds and make us whole
But time just introduced you to my soul
You're not a visitor
You're not a passing guest
You're the quiet resident
That settles in my chest
So pull up a chair now
Let the evening flow
You're the only steady hand
I've come to know
Hi misery, my old friend
It seems we're destined to meet again
You know all my secrets
You know every tear I've cried
You're the only company
That sits right by my side
We share this cup of coffee
In the silent lonely night
You remind me how the darkness
Always kills the light
Yeah, we know how this story always starts and ends
Hi misery, my old friend
You're all I have
My old friend
The silence starts to last
Misery, you're home again
Misery, right until the end
