Leave Me Alone
I lied again
I lied so that I could be hurt
So that I could continue to live
So that I could feel something... anything.
You see
Happiness isn't everything
Sadness is often better
Because sadness is true
It doesn't fade.
It's always there.
Repressed but always waiting.
Happiness is a cheap emotion.
It doesn't fuel itself in the way sadness does.
It burns out like a dying flame
With nothing to rekindle the ashes.
I lied so that I could be hurt
So that I could continue to live
So that I could feel something... anything.

Repressed but always waiting.
Happiness is a cheap emotion.

It burns out like a dying flame
With nothing to rekindle the ashes.
