Paramore - Misery Business Lyrics

Artist: Paramore

Album: Riot!

  • Songwriters: Josh Farro, Hayley Williams

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out
But when I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months, she finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we caught on fire
She's got it out for me but I wear the biggest smile

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now

But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey but I passed it up, now look this way

Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who they want
And what they like, it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now

But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good

I watched his wildest dreams come true
And not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now

But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good

    I loved riot, this was the album that made me fall in love with paramore, but this doesn't quite have the effect that i get from hallellujah and when it rains. their softer songs are just so different. Hailey's one hell of a rocker, but her soft side is where her true talent just comes out.

    This song is about the fact that the protagonist's boyfriend was originaly with a very controlling girl, and that she's glad she finally got him away from her. I interprited it in a fanmade video that the protagonist's boyfriend was the leader of an organization (say, mafia-ish), and some slut got him. Slut later dumped him for a member of the opposite organization, so the protagonist hooked up with the boy. The slut got killed, they eventually got married, and the cycle started again with their daughter.

    Sorry, but you won't be able to find it, it's a private vid
