Elliott Smith Happiness Lyrics

Happiness Lyrics

Activity's killing the actor

 And a cop's standing out in the road

 Turning traffic away

 There was nothing she could do untill after

 When his body'd been buried below

 Way back in the day

 

 Oh my

 Nothing else could have been done

 Made his life a lie so

 He might 

 Never have to know anyone

 Made his life the lie, you know

 

 I told him that he shouldn't upset her

 And that he'd only be making it worse

 Invloving 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 have 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

 All I want now is happiness 

 For you and me
