Lyrically Assassinating Why I Can't Be Happy

-----------------------------------------------------------

The destructive use of words embedded in this expression

Is not because I don't know how to be happy

Or it isn't because I am too emotional

It really is because I have forgotten how to be actually happy

But then I sit and ask myself

I ask myself why?

I see a billion people happy then I ask myself repeatedly

Why the fuck can't I be happy?

Then it hits me like a home run,

It started when you left,

Left like the sunshine on a rainy day

When you left my world, it came crashing down..........

Crashing down like the Twin Towers

I was broken and shattered like a glass plate falling unto

a hard terrace

Without you my world seems like it is undergoing an eclipse

You went away and took all my happiness like a thieving criminal

You forgot how beautiful what we had was and left like the

stars on a shineless and dark night

I can't breathe, feeling as if I am drowning in the deep blue sea

You stripped me of all my happiness and took off like a rocket

Happiness is now like a speck of dust

To lyrically assassinate my feelings?

It's easy, in just four words......

You Left Me Destroyed

Broken like a china doll falling from the mantle piece

I see people happy and in love, and I ask myself............

Why did you go?

I was shattered, broken, lost, imprisoned by my own thoughts and nightmares

I guess I wasn't what you wanted

I guess you never tried hard enough

You made me feel like I did you wrong

But then i will take a fall like leaves during the fall

Into the abyss of my pain and sorrow

I am so cold, cold like on a bad winter's night

Tears on my pillow............................................
