Never Happy


Wake in the morning, here we go Time again for the happy man show Take a breath and put on my smile Lets go be fake for a little while, Morning Love, let’s give us a kiss Wondering how it ever came to this Her lips are moving up and down Face frozen like a circus clown Stepping out while sitting there Meanwhile holding onto her stare Drifting off to that special place You and me in a loving embrace Drinking my coffee with a big ol’ smile While she yells at me for a little while Saying you're right and I'm sorry babe Thinking about all the plans we’ve made I look at her now and I wonder why I’m dreaming more often of when she dies Funny how its like the time from before And she was the one I was leaving for
