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 is just shit we're dividin' 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 of the nightfall
Haunted by the look in my eyes
I 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 he'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 shirt 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
