Miserable At Best

Katy, don't cry, I know

You're trying your hardest, and the hardest part is letting

Go of the nights we shared

Ocala is calling, and you know it's haunting

But compared to your eyes

Nothing shines quite as bright

And when we look to the sky

It's not mine, but I want it so

Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight

I know he's there, and

You're probably hanging out and making eyes

While across the room he stares

I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

And ask my girl to dance, she'll say yes

Because these words were never easier for me to say

Or her to second-guess, but I guess

That I can live without you, but

Without you, I'll be miserable at best

You're all that I hoped I'd find in every single way

And everything I would give is everything you couldn't take

'Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away

And the hardest part of living is just taking breaths to stay

'Cause I know I'm good for something, I just haven't found it yet

And I need it

So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight

I know he's there, and

You're probably hanging out and making eyes

While across the room he stares

I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

And ask my girl to dance, she'll say yes

Because these words were never easier for me to say

Or her to second-guess, but I guess

That I can live without you, but

Without you, I'll be miserable at best

And this will be the first time in a week

That I'll talk to you, and I can't speak

It's been three whole days since I've had sleep

'Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek

And I got the point that I should leave you alone

But we both know that I'm not that strong

And I'll miss the lips that made me fly

So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight

I know he's there, and

You're probably hanging out and making eyes

While across the room he stares

I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

And ask my girl to dance, she'll say yes

Because these words were never easier for me to say

Or her to second-guess, but I guess

That I can live without you, but

Without you, I'll be miserable

And I can live without you, but

Without you, I'll be miserable

And I can live without you, but

Oh, without you, I'll be miserable at best
