"You Could Be Happy" lyrics
"You Could Be Happy"
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all of the things that I wish I had not said
Are played in loops 'til it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were?
Not our last days of silent screamin' blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walkin' out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

Gary Lightbody said about "You Could Be Happy" in an interview in 2013, "It's a very simple song, one of my favorite moments on Eyes Open, our biggest record. […] this is certainly a very tender, delicate, almost paper-thin moment that is like a music box playing. That's the sound that we were trying to go for."
This track was used in an episode of Smallville in 2007 (episode "Promise" of the sixth season).

Kate Nash - "Foundations" Thursday night,
Everything's fine,
Except you've got that look in your eye,
When I'm telling a story
And you find it boring
You're thinking of something to say.
You'll go along with it then drop it...
