"Every False Embrace" lyrics

"Every False Embrace"

I wasn't worried when I knew I'd see you there
I was worried when I knew that I had to
Give it all away
Leave it all to fate

But I guess I'm gonna lay down
I guess I'm gonna take it
Make my bed and lay in it

But when I see you and you're with her
I wish I could go blind with the hurt
I can't believe you both sold me out
Like a cheap-red-wine stain on the couch

Hope you're happier now
Hope you know that somehow
When all is done and said
I just hope you're happier now
There's nothing I can say
You know I couldn't stay
And I'm leaving either way
Oh I know I'm happier now

Thought I'd find solace in the thought of moving on
But all the knowledge that I didn't want flips me
In and out again
Every false embrace

So I guess that's how we'll play it
I'll lay right down and take it
Hope apathy's contagious

But when I see you and you're with her
I wish I could go blind with the hurt
I can't believe you both sold me out
Like a cheap-red-wine stain on the couch

Hope you're happier now
Hope you know that somehow
When all is done and said
I just hope you're happier now
There's nothing I can say
You know I couldn't stay
And I'm leaving either way
Oh I know I'm happier now

(I know I'm happier now)

(I know I'm happier now)
