Happiness Lies Lyrics by Claire Johnston

The One and Only

0

[Intro]
[unintelligible voices]
Is that where happiness lies?
[Verse 1]
Do what you think you're doing
What game you're playing
You say you want some freedom
You think I can't see through that?
You stay out every night
You think I don't know what you're doing
Telling me all these lies
What do you think you're proving?
[Chorus]
I thought our love was on higher ground
I hoped that you would stay around
I thought it was our destiny
But now it's time to set you free
[Verse 2]
If you want your freedom
Why don't you say so?
You want to play your games
It's so easy
I tried to love you more
You tried to break me
Is that where happiness lies?
[Verse 3]
Tell me there's a reason
I just can't see it
The person closest to you
Is the one you're always hurting
By giving me your excuses
You know I've heard it all before
Goodbye is never easy
But now it's all I can say
[Chorus]
I thought our love was on higher ground
I hoped that you would stay around
I thought it was our destiny
But now it's time to set you free
[Verse 4]
If you want your freedom
Why don't you say so?
You want to play your games
It's so easy
I tried to love you more
You tried to break me
Is that where happiness lies?
[Break]
[Chorus]
I thought our love was on higher ground
(Stay [?])
I hoped that you would stay around
(Destiny)
I thought it was our destiny
But now it's time to set you free
[Verse 5]
If you want your freedom
Why don't you say so?
You want to play your games
It's so easy
I tried to love you more
You tried to break me
Is that where happiness lies?
[Outro]
Oh
It's so easy
I tried to love you more
You tried to break me
Is that where happiness lies?
Happiness lies
Ooh
(Happiness lies)
Happiness lies
