******[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 |
