Happy, or so it seemed
Happiness with you seems like inadequacy
Happiness may feel like a bad stomach ache
Or saying goodbye over and over again
Maybe happiness is biting your tonuge
Telling everyone you love “no”
Watching yourself slip away
Pushing yourself off the highest peak
Maybe happiness was finding myself at rock bottom
Watchng you bury me even farther into the ground
Watching you laugh as you put the dirt over my face
Making sure I was really dead
Happiness was actually getting up
Brushing the dirt off
Looking myself in the face
Finding myself alive again

Watching you laugh as you put the dirt over my face
Making sure I was really dead
Happiness was actually getting up
Brushing the dirt off
Looking myself in the face
Finding myself alive again
