Happy then

Keep this going
I don’t wanna have this helpless feeling
Take me back to when we were happy once
At the park, we’re eating, happy lunch
So if I lose control in the back of my mind
Tell me will you help me get back my pride
Promise me you’ll love me, you’ll be on my side
We can only live the truth not a god damn lie ‘cause
We only feel the heart in calmness and feelings
Falling asleep on these glass-less ceilings
Because maybe we were happy then
So maybe we’re happy again
Though after all, yes, after all
We’ve been down on the curb like this before
I never needed attention but now I’m begging for more
Just show me that face that for long I ached, that I saw


So save these memories
I don’t wanna lose them within me
Swallowed into the abyss
I’m longing, I waited for this
So will you wait for this? Or am I just another coulda been, shoulda been
But will I be..


Anxious feelings, dropped in the pond, I am reeling
Can we forget the past and try again?
Your time is all I hope to lend
Empty pot plants (I stole the flowers)
Give me one more dance
I swear that I can make it last
We’re moving on, forget the past
We’ll have a garden with daisies and roses
Take a picture with our kids, funny poses
It’s in our future but time has pace
And with you there’s no more time to waste

So save these memories
I don’t wanna lose them within me
Swallowed into the abyss
I’m longing, I waited for this
So will you wait for this? Or am I just another coulda been, shoulda been
But will I be..


It’s been 3 years since
I picked up a pad, so much has happened
But the fact is she just passed away
We had fun but not another day
Endless road trips
We stared then we touched, locked lips
We were finally happy again
A baby to have but never seen
So if I’m to lose my mind, she won’t be here
When I go to bed she won’t be near
So it ruins my heart and soul
But maybe one day, I’ll see her and we’ll be happy again
Just like we were when we were kids
Gone from life but forever reborn


In these memories
I don’t wanna lose them within me
Swallowed into the abyss
I’m longing, I never wanted this
All I wanted was one more kiss
But I guess I was just another coulda been, shoulda been, Will I be... Yes I was.
Your final wish.

Author's Note
Not too much to note, I personally thought this was a good one from myself so hopefully it is that! I left a line out which I thought was unnecessary after the 2nd verse so maybe I should’ve left it but all good. Would love any honest criticism! Thanks :)
