Misery by Design Lyrics by The Reputation

The Reputation

2002

If you want
I'll stay far away from you
Hold my tongue or slice it off
If that's what you want
Then I'll stay far away from you
Ground the things we set
Aloft and burned them through
A wasted premise: "we"
Drove until it died, then passed it on
But if it's really all that simple for you to destroy me
Then it looks to me like you are right where you wanted to be
And it looks to me like it's not everything you thought it would be
So enjoy it, doll, you're free
Enjoy it, doll, you're free
Enjoy it all, you're free
If it's all the same
Then I'll stay far away from you
I've apologized for long enough
So what'd you expect?
'Cause I can't feel that sorry for
Any guy who called me a slut
You've learned to play the victim perfectly
If everything's my fault, you're not to blame
For all your simpering diatribes of how I've caused you so much pain
It looks to me like you are right where you wanted to be
And it looks to me like it's not everything you thought it would be
It looks to me like you are right where you wanted to be
And it looks to me like it's not everything you thought it would be
It looks to me like you are right where you wanted to be
And it looks to me like it's not everything you thought it would be
