Detailed Analysis

These lyrics deal with a failing or toxic romantic relationship and contain several elements warranting parental guidance. There is mild profanity ('that shit'), emotionally charged and somewhat disturbing imagery ('leaving me in a hearse,' 'pour the kerosene,' 'push her to the edge'), and themes of emotional manipulation, apathy, and relational bitterness. The line 'I want to push her to the edge so she can see how it hurts' carries an unsettling undertone of emotional retaliation. The references to 'ruin both our lives' and 'misery loves company' reinforce a pessimistic, emotionally volatile worldview. While there is no explicit sexual content or drug/alcohol use, the mature emotional complexity, mild profanity, and the disturbing imagery of emotional harm push this beyond content suitable for younger teens. There are no sexual innuendos or seduction themes present, keeping it below the 16+ threshold, but the content is still best suited for mid-teens and older.

Lyrics

I'm not your type To romanticize falling in love And maybe we should close our eyes Ruin both our lives See if it's fun I was just hoping we could try I tried to love, you tried to run So tell me why You're holding on, if all is gone Then we should, lie Pretend that it's fine And maybe time can prove you were right When you said misery loves company While you're sitting right next to me Apathy, when you go and pour the kerosene On the eulogy of you and me Can save that shit for the next one I want to push her to the edge So she can see how it hurts And every lie that she said Leaving me in a hearse Did you love me? Cause now you're making it worse So disgusting, the way The way you just won't even try I tried to love, you tried to run So tell me why You're holding on, if all that's gone Then we should, lie Pretend that it's fine And maybe time can prove you were right When you said misery loves company While you're sitting right next to me Apathy, when you go and pour the kerosene On the eulogy of you and me Can save that shit for the next one Cause now we know that Misery Misery Misery loves company While you're sitting right next to me Apathy, when you go and pour the kerosene On the eulogy of you and me Can save that shit for the next one So now we know that Misery loves company While you're sitting right next to me Apathy, when you go and pour the kerosene On the eulogy of you and me Can save that shit for the next one Cause now we know that Misery Misery
