HAPPY FAMILIES Lyrics

I’ve been trying to keep a smile upon my face

When I know that deep inside you tied a rock around my waist

that fills me up and holds me down till I’m 10 feet under the ground

It’s kinda made change my point of view

Behind your eyes

I see the truth

If only you could see it too

It pulls apart

The best of both of us

And you can cry

But don’t deny

It’s something you created

And you can try your best to hide

The cracks in our foundation

But every time I close my eyes

I get the confirmation

That it’s all a lie

And I’m so tired

of playing one big happy family

We used to know how to grow our garden

Now it’s filled with DIY that you started

I look at and I wonder when you’ll finish

I’m holding up our roof cause the walls are bare

Are you happy watching me standing there?

While I carry the weight of your world upon my shoulders

You start your fight

Only to

Ignore the elephant in the room

When we both know

We got skeletons in our closet

And you can cry

But don’t deny

It’s something you created

And you can try your best to hide

The cracks in our foundation

But every time I close my eyes

I get the confirmation

That it’s all a lie

And I’m so tired

of playing happy families

I wonder do you understand

The sacrifice I’m making

It’s hard to wait and hold your hand

It’s testing all my patience

My head is running for the train

But my heart has left the station

And now I’m running out of breath

I crash into the pavement

You’re acting like we all belong

When the happy ever after is forever gone

And all that we built on has always been broken

And you

You leave me

You with no option

And you can cry

But don’t deny

It’s something you created

And you can try your best to hide

The cracks in our foundation

But every time I close my eyes

I get the confirmation

That it’s all a lie

And I’m so tired

of playing one big happy family

I’m so done with playing happy families
