Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Please be happy
'Cause you know I cannot bear to see you
In this state of melancholy
Curled up in your chair
[Verse 2]
Please don't worry
'Cause the world won't break apart as easy
As the glass
You dropped and smashed
When you tried to climb the stairs
[Verse 3]
There was a time
Not long ago
You stood right by your window
And your arms were painted feather-like
So sure that you could fly
[Verse 4]
But these days, it's like a wave is breaking over you
Dragging you in with the undertow
If you lay among the graves, you will see other ghosts
I still believe this love can grow
[Verse 5]
But these days, it's like a wave is breaking over you
Dragging you in with the undertow
If you lay among the graves, you will see other ghosts
[Verse 6]
Please be happy
'Cause you know I cannot bear to see you
In this state of melancholy
Curled up in your chair
