Happy Lyrics by The View

Bread and Circuses

2011

[Intro: Kyle Falconer]
I wasn't born to make you happy
I wasn't born to make you sad

[Verse 1]
I never hear my sweetheart calling
I wonder if the truth stands tall
'Cause I'm playing your game
Fighting for your name
I'm sticking around 'cause I'm lonely

[Chorus]
I wasn't born to make you happy
I wasn't born to make you sad
I know you see my sweet surrender
You're still the bitch that makes me mad

[Verse 2]
I never hear your young heart bleeding
My ear is never close to unwanted taps
But I won't let your drip run dry, I'll live with your lie
I'm sticking around cause I'm lonely

[Chorus]
I wasn't born to make you happy
I wasn't born to make you sad
I know you see my sweet surrender
You're still the bitch that makes me mad

[Verse 3]
So when I come I hope you know
That you'll have no place left to go
And I won't find no room in here
For you to chuck me out on my ear

[Chorus]
I wasn't born to make you happy
I wasn't born to make you sad
I know you see my sweet surrender
You're still the bitch that makes me mad

[Refrain]
Without the L
Without the E
What is love to you and me

[Outro]
I wasn't born to make you happy
I wasn't born to make you sad
