I Could Be Happy.

I could be happy and you won't know
But I wasn't happy the day you watched me go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on lips 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

(I'll) do the things that I always wanted to
Without you there to hold me back, don't think, just do

More than anything you (probably) want to see me go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
