Almost Happy

Shades closed in every room I move slow Can't quite cope with who I see in you Anything you said ever true? The past year I've been suffering as I watched Love turn paper thin And who, who exactly am I to you? 'Cause I don't want to play no games And yeah, you changed I don't want to stay stuck here in this place Tell me what you want to do? Do you think he could love you like I do? And every year just brings more pain Thoughts that weigh down any hope I have left in me And I don't really think that's fair Baby yeah, I'm not really sure you care So, love Can I make you stay awhile? I'm spiraling in my own denial It's not real Yet I wanna know how you feel 'Cause every single thought that haunts me Sticks the knife so deep I can't breathe I always thought it'd be you and me And yet I'd take pain over nothing So help me out I swear to god, I would take away the doubt I would try, try to watch my mouth If you would just stay for awhile Please just don't leave Tell me that you'll understand That you'll stay here in the end 'Cause I don't want amends, no I just need the person that I had always thought I had But now you see me Through a different colored lens And we both know how it ends I promise I can change You promise you won't hurt again But who are we to play pretend? Salt in open wounds I just smile 'cause I don't know what to say to you, I just feel Like what I want could never be real 'Cause I can't be the person you need Almost happy, yet I'm empty No, it could never be you and me Still I'd take pain over nothing So help me out I swear to god, I would take away the doubt I would try, try to watch my mouth If you would just stay for awhile Please just don't leave Tell me that you'll understand That you'll stay here in the end 'Cause I don't want amends, no I just need the person that I had always thought I had But now you see me Through a different colored lens And we both know how it ends I promise I can change You promise you won't hurt again But who are we to play pretend? So don't leave Tell me that you'll understand Will you stay here in the end? I don't want amends, no I just need the person that I had always thought I had Now you see me Through a different colored lens And we both know how it ends I promise I can change I promise you won't hurt again But who am I to play pretend? Please just don't leave Tell me that you'll understand That you'll stay here in the end 'Cause I don't want amends, no I just need the person that I had always thought I had But now you see me Through a different colored lens And we both know how it ends I promise I can change You promise you won't hurt again But who are we to play pretend?
