Happy Life

'Been doing some soul searching tonight
Walking down the long, cold road
Just with the moon's tiny light
Don't even know when I'll be coming home
To my happy life

Well, I'll tell you what I'm thankful for
It was the way you tortured me
When all you said was 'yeah babe'
I'll be there for you
But everytime that I was gone
The other men, they'd come around
And you'd say to me, don't ever worry
Well I did

Just don't ask me how I am
I know I'm doing fine
Living in my happy life
Each day at a time

I guess it was that night you said
I think I'm dying
Cancer's got me running
And I need some hope
So I wept
Turns out you fooled me
A second time around
Just so you'd have reason
To touch him over and over

Just don't ask me how I am
I know I'm doing fine
Living in my happy life
Each day at a time

So maybe I was a little shy
I just wanted to know happy
Any way that I could
But I don't think I've been the same
Since you broke me in two
This really isn't a sad story
It happens all the time
To everyone in this world
I think we're all doing fine

My soul has left for a while
I don't know when it will return
So I'm left with a big opening
And its starting to get cold
They all said it would be different
But I think that I am marked
You can read it on my forehead
It says 'Yeah, this one is no fun'
No one wants a man who writes words
Or talks softly to himself
Happy life, oh happy life
It's just you and me
