Can't Be Happy For Long
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.
Made a promise to yourself
Made a promise to her
That everything that chased you
Has been chased off for sure
Built that pretty home
Built it stone by stone
You and I both know you can't be happy for long
So where you gonna run to now?
So where you gonna run to now?
You and I both know you can't be happy for long
So where you gonna run to now?
Make a new plan for yourself
And an old plan for the new girl
What we both been running from
Won't find us for sure
Broke that pretty home
Guilty stone by stone
You and I both know you can't be happy for long
So where you gonna run to now?
So where you gonna run to now?
You and I both know you can't be happy for long
So where you gonna run to now?
Say that you're forsaken, say your well is dry
And everything inside you has walked off to die
Say your heart is broken and your love is gone
You and I both know you can't be happy for long
So where you gonna run to now?
So where you gonna run to now?
So where you gonna run to now?
So where you gonna run to now?
You and I both know you can't be happy for long
So where you gonna run to now?
