Life heckles my happiness
Every positive I gain
Must be countered with a sadness
Of a loved ones torture and pain
Momentum shifts from good to bad
Each exaltation of bliss
Is followed with an echo gone mad
A celebration, a moment to rejoice
Finds itself mirrored
With the sound of a past pain's voice
Clouded by guilt for wanting to smile
Offering a shoulder
Holding back your my own tears
All the while
Wanting to please all and make not a foe
This task is impossible
When my conscience is at war with my soul
To pick a path or ride the fence
Decisions, decisions,decisions
My sanity the expense
Am I asking for guidance
Am I praying to above
Should I give into compliance
You must pay for love
Happiness isn't Free

Life heckles my happiness
Every positive I gain
Must be countered with a sadness
Of a loved ones torture and pain
Momentum shifts from good to bad
Each exaltation of bliss
Is followed with an echo gone mad
A celebration, a moment to rejoice
Finds itself mirrored
With the sound of a past pain's voice
Clouded by guilt for wanting to smile
Offering a shoulder
Holding back your my own tears
All the while
Wanting to please all and make not a foe
This task is impossible
When my conscience is at war with my soul
To pick a path or ride the fence
Decisions, decisions,decisions
My sanity the expense
Am I asking for guidance
Am I praying to above
Should I give into compliance
You must pay for love
Happiness isn't Free
