The Front Bottoms – If You're Happy lyrics

I think you think I’m someone else
Maybe it’s me, and you’ve been myself
And this is only a cry for help
You said “Watch me fade away”

She’s cleaning out the closet
Because there’s not much more to keep
Well, I am laying on the bathroom floor
I choke myself to sleep

You cannot explain to someone
Who will never understand
Because I just jumped out your window
And I cannot wait ’till I land

I need to stop playing out
Relationships inside of my head
’Cause every one of my memories
Is filled with shit you never even said

And I fell in love with a girl
Who I will never see again
It makes me sad in my head
To think how happy we could've been

And now it’s hard to sing along
When you never knew the words
’Cause I swear you’re talking lies
And you could swear that I misheard

And now this ship it’s going down
And I am not sure what to think
But I am going back to bed
’Cause I refuse to watch her sink

We’ll buy balloons
We’ll let them go
When I get back
I’ll let you know

That everything will be the same
You can’t deny what you can’t change
And if you’re happy, well then, you’re happy
We could leave it all at that

Pretend you’re happy, and I’ll be happy
Then I’ll try to make it fact
Now she’s cleaning out the closets
Because there’s not much more to keep
While I am laying on the bathroom floor
I choke myself to sleep

You cannot explain to someone
Who will never understand
Because I just jumped out your window
And I cannot wait ’till I land

And now this ship it’s going down
And I am not sure what to think
But I am going back to bed
’Cause I refuse, I refuse to watch her sink
