the cost of happiness is sorrow
it's a "buy in now, pay for later" deal.
to experience true happiness is also
inevitably to know it's complete absence, "loss", to feel...

a one year anniversary of the death of a man
winter's coming on again.
it's getting colder out,
i stand before you now... beaten down by the wind.

i pack up your pictures and put them away
i wanna play this guitar that you gave to me...

i'll be out late with friends tonight,
and not miss you 'till i'm alone.
i burned everything i ever wrote about you,
deleted your number from my phone...

i'm writing this song now just to get it out.
from your life so easily i was just cut out ..?

wanna just say, "Baby, we had a good run,"
but feel too much loss to act like something was won.

drinkin' tonight at all the places "you and i" will never see..
hangin' out with friends we don't share, so we don't meet..
