You Know what makes me smile, is when people smile back. Like we forgot what we want, and remembered what we have.
Makes me feel real.
I question life's beginning, and I question why I'm sad,
we're sorry that you're leaving, but tell him I understand.
I don't like to talk, maybe my lungs are cracked, she said no you're alright, you're just hard to understand.
Why are you looking lonely, when you say you love being alone, I guess you're right, can I come over, coz you're starting to feel like home.
I write sad songs when I'm happy, and sad songs when I'm sad, coz sometimes life is lousy, but it's the best life I ever had, I'm still a happy man.
