The Fray - Happiness.

Happiness is just outside my window
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can`t make it come or go
But you are gone- not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
`cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that`s enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar

Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you`ll never find it all
Let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she`ll be home
Home, home, home

i say,
sometimes i want you to cry so badly before you sleep,
i want you to feel terribly confused everytime you're alone thinking,
i want you to feel the taunting of your guilt,
i want you to shiver with agony in bidding goodbye,
i want you to be in melancholic while nursing a heartache,
i want you to write many words in your diary to describe you sorrow,
i want you to feel how it is to be disappointed by someone who gave you effing high hopes.
i want to know what actually happened, the reasons, the motive, the excuses.
i want to know everything you've been hiding.
but at the same time, i want to leave it all at one go too.
cause i cant see you going through what i went.
everyone says it's unfair how it is & how it gets,
but at the end of the day,
i see that i cant be bothered, no matter how much i really want to know.

Labels: i want to.
