I Was Happy Lyrics

Just a stone's throw, throwing stones

Till I can reach the water

Just a peace in pieces

Pulling me apart, put back together

Rolled down

From the top of the hill

I was happy once

But now I'm gone

Bended knee

To the king of the world

I thought I was right

But I was wrong

Sank down

To solace in routine

The same old words

The same old song

It was

On the tip of my tongue

I didn't speak

But knew it all along

And so the morning came with a warning

Not to turn away

They'll never say what they do

So don't do what they say

The comfort of my bed was all in my head

Dreaming life away

But smothered by the covers

Lulling me to stay

Found my way

To the edge of the world

I was happy once

But now I'm lost

Climbed out

To the heat of the sun

I saw the light

I learned the cost

I hid

From the weight of the world

Turned a blind eye

To everything I'd seen

Woke up

And threw it away

I was happy once

But now I'm clean
