Not Quite Happiness
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.
Walking into the night,
I would take nothing for me,
Nothing at all
Knowing i could go on,
Just to have called you my lover,
Who would have known?
Oh, missing everything
Our hands were tied together
It was not quite happiness
Just love, just love, just love
Each time i missed your face
I would come walking back to you, so scared
You said, "what if we change all of our most unchangeable mistakes?"
Oh, missing everything
Our hands were tied together
It was not quite happiness
Just love, just love, just love
Oh, missing everything
Our hands were tied together
Our hearts knew everything our heads would soon discover
Oh, missing everything
Our hands were tied together
It was not quite happiness
Just love, just love, just love
