Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (SPiNTECH Remix)

"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" is about the frustrating experience of being in an unhappy, disconnected relationship. The singer reflects on his past life when he was "happy in the haze of a drunken hour", and then contrasts it with his miserable present reality. The song criticizes the other person in the relationship, recognizing they don't care if the singer "lives or dies", and bemoaning their emotional detachment. The singer questions why he even bothers to put effort into the relationship, when it's clear the other person doesn't care. In the end, he recognizes the need to "naturally" flee this dead-end relationship.

[Verse 1] I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now [Chorus] In my life, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care If I live or die? [Verse 2] Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now [Chorus] In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care If I live or I die? [Verse 3] What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed "Oh, you've been in the house too long," she said And I naturally fled [Chorus] In my life, why do I smile At people who I'd much rather Kick in the eye? [Verse 4] I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now "Oh, you've been in the house too long," she said And I naturally fled [Chorus] In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care If I live or I die?
