Stay Happy

I still believe you said everything
you ever said, cause you meant it
and not just because we were sharing a bed
and even though you needed me
its something you'll regret
i believe that we found something good
that day that we met

and i still haven't found a pair of jeans
that fit me right
and i keep seeing these crazy things, to try and take me for a ride
and it still hits me like a bag of bricks
each and every night
when i wake up to find that your not here to my right

so i'm saying a prayer that my feet don't fail
I was digging pebbles out from the palms of my hands
doing push-ups in the middle of two lane streets
from falling over walking with two left feet
yea I'm falling down

cause i know that your happy to be rid of me
and i hope its gonna change your personality
cause when your laughing
its magnetic and amazing how it cuts through the static
so please stay happy if not for me
but for the sake of all the birds and trees and living things
i rely on, such vivid beauty to go on living

my downfall, you see where I'm stuck, is thinking how it could be,
and it turns my stomach, and my heart plummets
to think of what you're thinkin of me

and i'm still figuring out just who i am
and who i can be
but all i know is that who i was
wasn't nearly me
and i was feeling down about who i was
what i couldn't be
so i lost my mind and i wasted time
feeling so guilty
so i'm singing this song
in hopes that you'll sing along,

and listen to what i'm saying
its a song that i made filled with steps i can take
to find something i can believe in
to believe in
so you trick your clothes to make you believe
this is really wrong inside this sleeve
its the same arm you use to hold
things that you consider gold
but inside your head
you know you've changed
but really who remains the same
you're distracting yourself
to make you believe
you change for the good man you're so nave
soyou say things that you don't mean,
like actors on a silver screen
until you realize the past is real
its really no big fucking deal
so you burn your clothes
and everything reminds you how you used to be

cause i know that you're happy to be rid of me
and i hope that its gonna change your personality
cause when your laughing, its magnetic
and amazing how it cuts through static
so please stay happy if not for me
but for the sake of all the birds and trees and living things
i rely on, such vivid beauty to go on living
and i still believe you said everything
you ever said, cause you meant it
