"It Wasn't Easy To Be Happy For You" lyrics

The Lumineers Lyrics

"It Wasn't Easy To Be Happy For You"

On the last time we met, your love was dead
You held my hand, bit your tongue
Shut me out, spilled my blood all around

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

All alone you always felt
We dragged you down, gave me hell
Made your bed, now you sleep
On your own, guess we'll, see

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

I know that you tried
But you're no friend of mine
Falling apart
You played it the best
A dame in distress, ooh

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I wrapped my neck and prayed that you'd feel the noose
I saw the restaurant table for two
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

Yeah, yeah
Yeah
