Love, Hope and Misery Lyrics

Crying for the one who doesn't love you
All you feel is the pain
You don't know why he doesn't want you
He hasn't called for daysSo dry those eyes and don't be afraid
Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same
No you don't know it don't come easy
Come easyThey say it comes in threes; love, hope and misery
And the first two have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
And I know, and I know that you must hate meHolding back the reasons not to love you
Try to find the way
But when you're feeling down and lonely
It makes it hard to saySo dry those eyes and don't be afraid
Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same
No you don't know it don't come easy
Come easyThey say it comes in threes, love, hope and misery

And the first two have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
And I know, and I know, and I know that you must hate meAs I think about the only way that you know to love
No, this feeling can't be right if it don't mean much
No, this feeling ain't right if it don't mean much
I can't be here for you
No, I can't live a lie, woman, that you must know
And this feeling can't be right if it moves so slow
No, this feeling ain't right if it moves so slow
I can't be here with youThey say it comes in threes, love, hope and misery
And the first two have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
And I know, and I know that you must hate me
