Happiness ain't dead

Happiness ain't dead,

But she don’t visit here no more,

I’ll explain rejection, reflection, infectin’ me,

Perfectly broken, perfection’s deception,

Protection, neglected, affected,

Can’t protect what’s already gone,

Key and lock, forgot the code,

No jokes now, she’s cold,

Cold heart, colder soul,

Free to go, and she let go,

Let me go, alone with echoes,

Whispers stay, but love don’t echo... (ohhhh)

My mind runs marathons,

Heart walks tightropes,

Giving to ghosts,

Freelancing pain like it's all I know,

Freestyle sadness in every flow,

Letters I write, never send,

Stories of love that never begin,

Talk to myself, pretend she's near,

But her silence louder than I can bear.

Used to dance slow in empty rooms,

Now I just sway with the weight of gloom,

Inside jokes turned inside pain,

No punchline left, just endless rain. (yeah)

Happiness ain't dead,

But she don’t visit here no more,

I’ll explain rejection, reflection, infectin’ me,

Perfectly broken, perfection’s deception,

Protection, neglected, affected,

Can’t protect what’s already gone,

Key and lock, forgot the code,

No jokes now, she’s cold,

Cold heart, colder soul,

Free to go, and she let go,

Let me go, alone with echoes,

Whispers stay, but love don’t echo... (ohhhh)

Good times fade, bad days stay,

Lifeline cut, now I drift away,

Love ain’t stoppable, but it stopped for me,

Adoration turned into apathy.

Unbelievable how it slipped,

Like water in hands, no grip,

She was art, I was canvas,

She left, I’m blank, no chances.

Fifty years in my dreams,

But she ain’t in them anymore,

She lit up rooms,

Now I’m sittin’ on the floor,

Tryin’ to write love songs,

But they all sound like war. (yeah...)

Happiness ain't dead,

But she don’t visit here no more,

I’ll explain rejection, reflection, infectin’ me,

Perfectly broken, perfection’s deception,

Protection, neglected, affected,

Can’t protect what’s already gone,

Key and lock, forgot the code,

No jokes now, she’s cold,

Cold heart, colder soul,

Free to go, and she let go,

Let me go, alone with echoes,

Whispers stay, but love don’t echo... (ohhhh)

Tick, tick, boom—alone in the silence,

Lit off pain, not love, just defiance,

Dancin’ with shadows, not her,

Used to believe in us, now I’m unsure.

Kindness left, truth walked out,

Loyalty’s dead, now there’s only doubt,

Bliss was a moment, this is forever,

Forever alone, never together.

I write these verses just to feel,

Tryin’ to heal what ain’t even real,

She was so much, too much to hold,

Now I’m the luckiest... in the cold. (yeah…)
