Happiness -
by Elliott Smith
| Activity's killing the actor | |
| And a cop's standing out in the road turning traffic away | |
| There was nothing she could do until after | |
| When his body'd been buried below | |
| Way back in the day | |
| Oh my, nothing else could've been done | |
| He made his life a lie | |
| So he might never have to know anyone | |
| Made his life the lie you know | |
| I told him he shouldn't upset her | |
| And that he'd only be making it worse | |
| Involving somebody else | |
| But I knew that he'd never forget her | |
| While her memory worked in reverse | |
| To keep her safe from herself | |
| And, oh my, nothing else could've been done | |
| She made her life a lie | |
| So she might never have to know anyone | |
| Made her life the lie you know | |
| What I used to be will pass away and then you'll see | |
| That all I want now is happiness for you and me | |
| What I used to be will pass away and then you'll see | |
| That all I want now is happiness for you and me | |
| What I used to be will pass away and then you'll see | |
| That all I want now is happiness for you and me |
