happiness

Honey, when I'm above the trees

I see this for what it is

But now I'm right down in it

All the years I've given are just things we're dividing up

Showed you all of my hiding spots

I was dancing when the music stopped

And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention

I haven't met the new me yet

There'll be happiness after you

But there was happiness because of you

Both of these things can be true

There is happiness

Past the blood and bruise

Past the curses and cries

Beyond the terror in the nightfall

Haunted by the look in my eyes

That would've loved you for a lifetime

Leave it all behind and there is happiness

Tell me, when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk?

When did all our lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt?

I hope she'll be your beautiful fool who takes my spot next to you

No, I didn't mean that

Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury

You haven't met the new me yet

There'll be happiness after me

But there was happiness because of me

Both of these things, I believe

There is happiness

In our history, across our great divide there is a glorious sunrise

Dappled with the flickers of light

From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind

And there is happiness

I can't make it go away by making you a villain

I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven

And I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night

Now I get fake niceties

No one teaches you what to do

When a good man hurts you

And you know you hurt him, too

Honey, when I'm above the trees

I see it for what it is

But now my eyes leak acid rain

On the pillow where you used to lay your head

After giving you the best I had

Tell me what to give after that

All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness

You haven't met the new me yet

And I think she'll give you that

There'll be happiness after you

But there was happiness because of you, too

Both of these things can be true

There is happiness

In our history, across our great divide there is a glorious sunrise

Dabbled with the flickers of light

From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind

Oh, leave it all behind

Leave it all behind

And there is happiness
