Happier Songs

I told you I loved you
And you just laughed in my face

And I told you I’d never leave you
So you disappeared without a trace

How could something that feels alright
Go oh so terribly wrong
Sometimes I wish I wrote happier songs

I told you I believed in the truth
But it didn’t stop you from lying

And I told you I couldn’t live without you girl
But it didn’t stop you from dying

How could something that feels alright
Go oh so terribly wrong
Sometimes I wish I wrote happier songs

Well life it gets in the way
Costs more when you love someone
Who makes you pay big for ever little
Microscopic
Itty bitty
Miniscule
Mistake

How could something that feels alright
Go oh so terribly wrong
Sometimes I wish I wrote happier songs
