Don't want to talk I'll just stare at the clock
Watching the seconds pass each one a silent mock
Until something goes right for me but nothing goes right for me
I sit here in my solitude a prisoner to my misery
And I guess I'll sit alone I'll just never leave my home
For home is where the heart is but I don't know where you are
It's a place that should bring comfort a place that should bring peace
But without you here beside me the longing will not cease
It's safe to say I'm so afraid of my own thoughts
To shape them into words that become fights and fraughts
So I'll sit just sit and listen to the world telling me
That I am a failure so that's all that I'll ever be
What I want is what I could never have
And when I get it it's like yesterday's trash
I just want to be happy please just let me be happy
Is that too much to ask for a life without feeling so crappy?
I'm a lover not a fighter but what does that mean?
When the love you wanted so desperately has broken your dreams
You start to ask yourself the question am I good enough?
When all you've been is lucky just lucky enough
Enough to make it through the day (Oh god I'm so tired)
But when the next is on its way (Begin to pray begin to pray)
These days will only get harder (They're just getting harder)
As long as you're away (Come back to me come back!)
What I want is what I could never have
And when I get it it's like yesterday's trash
I just want to be happy please just let me be happy
Is that too much to ask for a life without feeling so crappy?
Please just let me be happy please just let me be happy
I beg the universe for peace for tranquility for clarity
Please just let me be happy please just let me be free
From the chains of sorrow from the ache of what could never be
Oh please just let me be happy!
Let me be happy!
Ohhhh! Let me be happy!
Let me be free!
So I'll love you for the moment I just can't love myself
And when the moment's gone I'll put my heart on the shelf
Never to be seen again the loneliness will soon set in
I'm so tired of starting again so weary from within
Please just let me be happy please just let me be happy
I beg the universe for peace for tranquility for clarity
Please just let me be happy please just let me be free
From the chains of sorrow from the ache of what could never be
