Love and Misery is a song about love that feels so strong it hurts. To experience deep love, you must be willing to feel deep pain. To taste the sweetness of honey, you have to risk a sting.

lyrics

LYRICS

V1
Honey in my hand
I’d hold your heart if it weren’t for the sting
Honey in my hand
So it will be

Feel the wishbone bend
All the hidden marrow suddenly breaks
Feel the wishbone bend
So much it aches

CH
Had we known
How love and misery grow
Blood and bone
We’re made of both

V2
So who tied these knots
Bound up like thieves in the back of my mind
Who tied these knots
Around you and I

CH
Had we known
How love and misery grow
Blood and bone
We’re made of both (2x)

V3
And as the days turn dust
On all the fallen leaves all shining like gold
As the days turn dust
Will we grow old

This love is such
Sometimes I miss you more in my arms
This love is such
We fall apart

CH
Had we known
How love and misery grow
Blood and bone
We’re made of both (x2)
