I dont want my temporary happiness hanging from you, tugging at your lips Felt beneath my hips, as I lie still under your kiss Cause my happiness is like a vine That no good **** clinging on to bricks, splint with twine Pretty in it's own way but poison when you touch Pieces of it living in the crevices and cracks Determined to come back, always to come back, to try just one more time. I'm afraid my happiness will entangle you, And dare I fall, will strangle you Leaving you helpless as I drop See, this feeling it is temporary, Sadness blooms inside of me No matter how many chemicals or pills I pop Like an axe to the vine, gone with one chop, one feathered tick of the clock Never meant to grow again, but nonetheless, will never stop.

temporary happiness
I dont want my temporary happiness hanging from you, tugging at your lips Felt beneath my hips, as I lie still under your kiss Cause my happiness is like a vine That no good **** clinging on to bricks, splint with twine Pretty in it's own way but poison when you touch Pieces of it living in the crevices and cracks Determined to come back, always to come back, to try just one more time. I'm afraid my happiness will entangle you, And dare I fall, will strangle you Leaving you helpless as I drop See, this feeling it is temporary, Sadness blooms inside of me No matter how many chemicals or pills I pop Like an axe to the vine, gone with one chop, one feathered tick of the clock Never meant to grow again, but nonetheless, will never stop.
