You’re Only Happy When You’re Miserable Rodney Crowell (Ft. Ringo Starr)

[Verse 1]
Go sell your snake oil to someone you used to know
I've heard your whining 'til my motor just won't go
The sky ain't falling though I know you wished it would
I almost hate to tell you that I'm leaving you for good

[Chorus 1]
You're only happy when you're miserable
I'm all amped up, you're all clamped down
I've never seen you with your cup half full
Worst case scenario, yeah that's the girl I know

[Verse 2]
Go tell your mother it was all my fault
Your baby brother, I ain't worth my salt
Your bold prediction that I'd bail on you
Turns out my nightmare is your dream come true

[Chorus 2]
You're only happy when you're miserable
Go on and run it in the ground
Hard time I get it through my own thick skull
Your doomsday fantasy means more to you than me
You're only happy when you're miserable

[Bridge]
Don't know the last time that I've seen you smile
I only know it's been a long long while
I tried to change you like I thought I should
You pulled the wool on me, it ain't no mystery
