The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Waking up beside you brings a kind of refuge

It's the armor that I need to face the day

For a second I forgot that you were leaving soon

Then the armor falls away

This time there's no broken hearts

And no one ran 'cause it got hard

This missing you is temporary pain

I'm happy to be sad

I'm sad that you are gone

If I was feeling nothing

I would feel like something's wrong

I'm grateful to be crying

I'm crying over you

I'm lucky that we love so good

It has to hurt this bad

I'm happy to be sad

Only me, myself, and all my thoughts I thought that I would

Start to crumble in the lonely (start to crumble in the low)

But I'll get to know the momentary misery

Just to know somebody knows me, yeah

This time has no hopeless nights

No losing sleep, no pointless fights

Just missing you till you come back and hold me

I'm happy to be sad (sad)

I'm sad that you are gone (gone)

If I was feeling nothing

I would feel like something's wrong

I'm grateful to be crying (crying)

I'm crying over you (you)

I'm lucky that we love so good

It has to hurt this bad

I'm happy to be sad (sad)

(Sad) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(Gone) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(I) Do-do-do, do-do-do

I'm happy to be sad

(Sad) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(Gone) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(I) Do-do-do, do-do-do

I'm happy to be sad

I'm sad that you are gone

If I was feeling nothing

I would feel like something's wrong

I'm grateful to be crying (crying)

I'm crying over you (you)

I'm lucky that we love so good

It has to hurt this bad

I'm happy to be sad (sad)

(Sad) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(Gone) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(I) Do-do-do, do-do-do

(Sad) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(Gone) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(I) Do-do-do, do-do-do

(Sad) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(Gone) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(I) Do-do-do, do-do-do

(Sad) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(Gone) Do-do-do-do-do-do

(I) Do-do-do, do-do-do
