Happily Sad Lyrics

I've come a long way from there

From the youngster Beatle maniac

Playing I-vi-IV-V ("sad sad sad" lines)

Sound like good old times

Today I'll try and spice things up

But I don't know if I can be good anymore

Cos I'm doubting that I ever were

I know

You got other things to do

I know

This is probably lost on you

I know

No one ever waited for Blue

I know, I know

I know

You never asked for any of this

I know

The chances that you listen are thin

And still

I can't seem to stop trying

Happily sad

Happily sad

I used to be sure

Of what I was made of

Knew I got game

And nothing could stop me

Sometimes I miss that sense of certainty

But ain't it best to have some clarity?

See what I just did there? (What?)

Taking the worst of past and present

And turning it into question and torment

Deep down I feel that's where I belong

I know

What to do to start fresh new

I know

There's nothing really I could do

I know

Of all I built I can be proud too

I know, I know

I know

I'm clinging to a fantasy

I know

If I had it I'd want another reality

And still

I can't stop but craving it

Happily sad

Happily sad

So here I am with this old guitar

She hurts me more than I'm willing to show

Enemy in saviour suit

Or faithful friend to the rescue?

How can I sort things out

When there's day into night?

Just wanna get some of the light

Does it come from the dark?

Happily sad

I don't know if I can be good anymore

Happily sad

I've come a long way

Still like McCartney

And I gotta sat

Absurde was okay
