[verse 1] |
|
honey, when im above the trees |
|
i see this for what it is |
|
but now im right down in it, all the years ive given |
|
is just shit were dividin up |
|
showed you all of my hiding spots |
|
i was dancing when the music stopped |
|
and in the disbelief, i cant face reinvention |
|
i havent met the new me yet |
|
|
|
[chorus] |
|
therell be happiness after you |
|
but there was happiness because of you |
|
both of these things can be true |
|
there is happiness |
|
|
|
[post-chorus] |
|
past the blood and bruise |
|
past the curses and cries |
|
beyond the terror in the nightfall |
|
haunted by the look in my eyes |
|
that wouldve loved you for a lifetime |
|
leave it all behind |
|
and there is happiness |
|
|
|
[verse 2] |
|
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 shell be your beautiful fool |
|
who takes my spot next to you |
|
no, i didnt mean that |
|
sorry, i cant see facts through all of my fury |
|
you havent met the new me yet |

[chorus] |
|
therell be happiness after me |
|
but there was happiness because of me |
|
both of these things, i believe |
|
there is happiness |
|
|
|
[post-chorus] |
|
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 |
|
|
|
[bridge] |
|
i cant make it go away by making you a villain |
|
i guess its 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 |
|
|
|
[verse 3] |
|
honey, when im 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 havent met the new me yet |
|
and i think shell give you that |
|
[chorus] |
|
therell be happiness after you |
|
but there was happiness because of you, too |
|
both of these things can be true |
|
there is happiness |
|
|
|
[post-chorus] |
|
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 |
|
oh, leave it all behind |
|
leave it all behind |
|
and there is happiness |
