Lyrics: 

The night air is cold 
But I don't mind 
'Cause I have my pain to keep me warm 
And inside I try 
Try not to be 
So pathetic 
So pathetic, can't you see? 

That I'm falling 
and I'm fading 
as I'm crashing on my knees 
All this hatred filled with pleasure 
If you love me set me free 

Hold on 
Don't let me go 
From this sweet misery that I know 
And hold on 
Don't let me go 
From this sweet misery that I know 

I can count on these hands 
Just how many times 
That I have tried to change my life 
I can't breathe 'cause it burns, 
inside of me 
I'm so desperate 
So desperate, can't you see? 

That I'm falling 
And I'm fading 
As I'm crashing on my knees 
If I were to stop breathing, 
would you breathe for me? 

And, hold on 
Don't let me go 
From this sweet misery that I know 
And hold on 
Don't let me go 
From this sweet misery that I know 

Misery 
Misery 
Singing don't let me go 
Please just hold on to me 
(hold on to me) 
Won't you hold on to me 
(won't you hold on to me) 
Don't let me go 

Don't let me go 
Singing don't let me go 

Hold on 
Don't let me go 
From this sweet misery that I know 
Hold on 
Don't let me go 
From this sweet misery that I know 

And hold on 
Don't let me go 
From this sweet misery that I know 
And hold on 
Don't let me go 
From this sweet misery that I know 

Misery 
Misery 
Singing don't let me go
