Don't Be Happy

Why are there so many break ups in this world?
Why is love so hard? I was curious about these things.
And now I'm asking again, how am I to cope with this?
Does all this sadness even end?
It's okay, it'll probably go away after awhile.
This heart and these tears will eventually go away.
We know that the more we hold on the more we break.
We know that letting go is love.
I love you, I love you. I thought that there'd be more time to tell you those words
Already I'm envious of that person who'll come and take you away someday.
Don't be happy. If you are trying to be happy,
then that means you have to forget me, who loves you.
As if stabbed with a thorn, everytime I breathe, tears come out.
Living, isn't living at all.
Don't love. If it's not me, then you can't be forever with anyone else.
That place where I left you, If I just remember that place then I can find you.
This is just a love that's put on hold. It's okay. Laugh.
Within the day I change my mind many times.
I throw it away again only to pick it back up. Today I'm like that too.
It was me who told you that you're going to meet a good person,
but my heart is holding onto you.
I love you, I love you. Now I can't hear your voice telling me that.
If you wait for just a little bit it'll come back.
Does that person by your side know that too?
Don't be happy. If you are trying to be happy,
then that means you have to forget me, who loves you.
As if stabbed with a thorn, everytime I breathe, tears come out.
Living, isn't living at all.
Don't love. If it's not me, then you can't be forever with anyone else.
That place where I left you, If I just remember that place then I can find you.
This is just a love that's put on hold. Its okay. Laugh.
Don't love. If it's not me, then you can't be forever with anyone else.
That place where I left you, If I just remember that place then I can find you.
This is just a love that's put on hold. Its okay. Laugh.
These tears and this pain is okay.
