Doesn't Go Away

I used to think that on one bright day all of my misery would simply go away

It would fade into the background Washed down the drain By something or someone That dropped from the sky like rain

But it never goes away It keeps dragging me down A yoke around my neck That I'm forced to pull around

All I can do is keep walking Because my misery doesn't go away It's up to me to dream of a bright star And keep walking forward to a new day
