It's been ten years since I saw her But you know she didn't leave And you can see I've lived a lifetime since that moment Looking good but you know sometimes looks deceive I've been waiting, for misery Over my shoulder, I've been looking back If you ask me, 'why are you hesitating' I say 'I'm waiting' Yes I'm just waiting for misery Now I've met someone, we've even had two babies But it doesn't mean I can forget my past Each day brings something sweet and soulful But I'm scared that this happiness can't last I've been waiting, for misery Over my shoulder, I've been looking back If you ask me, 'why are you hesitating' I say 'I'm waiting' Yes I'm just waiting for misery What is the answer to this question? Should I be happy in this lifetime once again? And if I agree to look ahead without exception Can you promise I won't go back where this began? I've been waiting, for misery Over my shoulder, I've been looking back If you ask me, 'why are you hesitating' I say 'I'm waiting' Yes I'm just waiting for misery I've been waiting, for misery Over my shoulder, I've been looking back If you ask me, 'why are you hesitating' I say 'I'm waiting' Yes I'm just waiting for misery So I've decided to learn from my lessons I'm not going to live in fear or worry about the past I'm going to take each day with ease and consolation Because I'm here with you and who knows how long it lasts
