Happier Lyrics
A Fine Frenzy
Lyrics
A Fine Frenzy - Happier
Quick kid quick, so harsh and cynical
Touches stricken, cold and clinical
What a transformation to behold
But I don't like this new, I want the old
It's not the words that make it final
You've said such things
before to rival them
But it's how you say 'em now that's changed
Cold but sympathetic all the same
Lie to convince me that I'll be better off
Oh, you go on and I'll be happier,
I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier
Shoot me with your rubber bullets
Your finger's on the trigger, pull it
I know you want this suffering to end
So it is forgivable my friend
It's all to convince me
that I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier,
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier
Bo-bo-ba-do-bo
Bo-bo-ba-do-bo-da-da-da
Say what you mean, what you mean
Cause you'll be happier without me,
without me, without me, oh
You won't convince me,
that I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier,
I'll be happier
You go on, you go
You'll be gone, and I'll be gone
You go on and I'll be happier,
you go on and I'll be happier
You go on, you go on,
you go on and I'll go on
and I'll be happier
You on and I'll be happier,
you go on and I'll be happier
You go on, and I'll be happier
