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 are just things we're dividing 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 in the nightfall Haunted by the look in my eyes That 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 she'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 dress 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
Honey, when I'm 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 haven't met the new me yet And I think she'll give you that
There'll be happiness after you But there was happiness because of you, too Both of these things can be true There is happiness
In our history, across our great divide there is a glorious sunrise Dabbled 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
