Happy Unhappy - The Beths

I was higher than a biplane

Then you hit me like a hurricane

I bailed out, hit the ground

Washed up in a storm drain

Stumbled up the driveway

With a handshake and a slow wave

Now I’m crashed out on the couch

Wondering if you feel the same

'Cause you’re in my brain taking up space I need

For remembering pins and to take out the bins

And that one particular film that that actor was in

I see your face superimposed over everything

It ain’t right

'Cause I was fine on my own

Tolling steady like a dial tone

Couldn’t you leave me?

I was happy unhappy

But now I’m overthrown

Wish my heart were really made of stone

And I could forget you

Like I really want to

I was living with your spare change

In the pocket of your cutaways

And I get so spent

Waiting on your lunch break

Broke every window pane

So I can feel the cold rain

When I lie in bed catching death

Trying to wash it all away

'Cause you’re in my brain taking up space I need

For delivering lies and suppressing the sighs

And for navigating escape when I get lost in your eyes

It’s taking up all of my time just to keep it in line

It ain’t right

'Cause I was fine on my own

Tolling steady like a dial tone

Couldn’t you leave me?

I was happy unhappy

But now I’m overthrown

Wish my heart were really made of stone

And I could forget you

Like I really want to

I was fine on my own

Tolling steady like a dial tone

Couldn’t you leave me?

I was happy unhappy

But now I’m overthrown

Wish my heart were really made of stone

And I could forget you

Like I really want to

I could forget you

I could forget you

I could forget you
