If Not For Misery Lyrics - 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 used 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 

We need to let it go, it's not the love we used to know 

Oh, listen can't you see 

If not for misery, we'd have nothing left at all 

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 

We need to let it go, it's not the love we used to know 

Oh, listen can't you see 

If not for misery, we'd have nothing left at all 

We need to let it go, it's not the love we used to know 

Oh, listen can't you see 

If not for misery, we'd have nothing left at all 

Oh why can't you see 

If not for misery, we'd have nothing left at all
