I felt the closing walls
|
Trouble on the rise
|
You didn't have to say a word
|
I saw it in your eyes
|
|
Opened up my soul
|
I showed a view inside
|
I'm not too proud
|
To say out loud
|
I'm happier, I cried
|
|
A shield of misty gray
|
We'll gladly leave behind
|
A restless youth
|
Gave way to truth
|
And now to peace of mind
|
|
We'll ride the wings of love
|
A maze of tears have gone
|
Good riddance to
|
The pain we knew
|
A new day's finally dawned
|
|
And I don't wanna run your life
|
I just wanna share a space
|
I just wanna be the one who puts
|
A smile upon your face
|
|
Friends will come and go
|
I don't mind if they do
|
The role they play
|
I'm sad to say
|
Is small compared to you
|
People will always talk
|
And I don't care, do you
|
Smaller minds you'll always find
|
Have nothing else to do
|
|
Oceans rise and fall
|
And meadows washed in rain
|
We cast aside the tears we cried
|
And lived to love again
|
|
I told you once before
|
I'll tell you once again
|
You make mistakes
|
That's what it takes
|
Life fools you now and then
|
|
I'm happier to find
|
That both of us could grow
|
Mistakes were made
|
So turn the page
|
Cuz life goes on, you know
|
|
I don't wanna run your life
|
I just wanna share a space
|
Let me be the one who puts
|
A smile upon your face
|
|
I'm happier to know
|
I'm happier to see
|
That open every door inside
|
Our lives will still be free
|
|
I don't wanna run your life
|
I just wanna share your space
|
I just wanna be the one who puts
|
A smile upon your face
|
|

Happier
