Amo(u)r Propre
As I am humiliated and broken
I smile
Smile at your happy face
You ruining my life
Means you need me
Need me to make it all better
To make you happy
Trading my happiness for yours
Does it make you feel better
Do you feel happy now
Does it make you feel on top of the world
In control of your life
I hope it does
For years I’ve accepted your pain
Having in mind that
I make you feel
Feel the best you ever felt
Not your money
Your boyfriends
Or your popularity
I take full responsibility for your happiness
In situations like this
It is my gratification
I smile
Smile at your happy face
You ruining my life
Means you need me
Need me to make it all better
To make you happy
Trading my happiness for yours
Does it make you feel better
Do you feel happy now
Does it make you feel on top of the world
In control of your life
I hope it does
For years I’ve accepted your pain
Having in mind that
I make you feel
Feel the best you ever felt
Not your money
Your boyfriends
Or your popularity
I take full responsibility for your happiness
In situations like this
It is my gratification
