Lyrics

Joy

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.

Stood in the rain and watched you go

I feel a lump in my throat

And this is far from joy

I never seemed to learn

That high makes things harder

That high I get from you

I've figured out that joy is not in your arms

I know I'll always ache with an empty heart

I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars

I'm seeing stars watch me fall apart

I think of dying all the time

But I've got joy to take my side

Fear is my favourite ride ooh hey hoh

I've figured out that joy is not in your arms

I know I'll always ache with an empty heart

I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars

I'm seeing stars watch me fall apart

And then you see, ooh

I've figured out that joy is not in your arms

I know I'll always ache with an empty heart

I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars

I'm seeing stars watch me fall apart
