The Music or the Misery
Fall Out Boy

I got my stitches stitched I've got my fixes fixed

And in my aching head I got my kisses slit

Our gossip lips stuttered every word I said, I said


I got your love letters, corrected the grammar and sent them back

It's true, romance is dead I shot it in the chest then in the head


And if you wanna go down in history then I'm your prince

Because they've got me in a bad way

I've never seen a heart I couldn't break

It was never about the songs, it was competition

Make the biggest scene, make the biggest


Which came first, music or the misery?

We're high-fashion, we're last chances

Which came first, music or the misery?

We're high-fashion, we're last chances


I'm casually obsessed and I've forgiven death

I am indifferent yet

(I am a total wreck)

I'm every cliché but I simply do it best


And if you wanna go down in history then I'm your prince

Because they got me in a bad way

I've never seen a heart I couldn't break

It was never about the songs, it was competition

Make the biggest scene, make the biggest

(Make the biggest scene)


Which came first, music or the misery?

We're high-fashion, we're last chances

Which came first, music or the misery?

(Which came first?)

We're high-fashion, we're last chances


Go!


I went to sleep a poet and I woke up a fraud

To calm your nerves I'm feeling for my clothes in the dark


Which came first, music or the misery?

We're high-fashion, we're last chances


Which came first, music or the misery?

We're high-fashion, we're last chances

Which came first, music or the misery?

(Which came first?)

We're high-fashion, we're last chances
