Happy Once

I pass it in the hallway

I stop and reminisce

Most times, I keep on walking

Can't believe we ended up like this

I wonder where you are and

How the hell we got so far

From those two kids, that first kiss

Leanin' up against a chain link fence

It's probably time to take it down

Don't need it reminding me now

That I was happy once

Wish that picture just stop doing what it always does

Wish that song wouldn't come on

When my heart's already halfway gone

Halfway down this leaving road, I'm on

Yeah, we were happy once

Who we were ain't who we are

We had a real good run

But that don't mean I need to be staying up all night

Making myself think twice

Just 'cause I was happy once

It was fun until it wasn't

Blink and you're twenty-something

Laying next to someone you don't recognize

And the bills are pilin' up and

He hasn't kissed you in a month, but

Every now and then, it's love

And that's what tears me up, 'cause I was

Happy once

Wish that picture just stop doing what it always does

Wish that song wouldn't come on

When my heart's already halfway gone

Halfway down this leaving road, I'm on

Yeah, we were happy once

Who we were ain't who we are

We had a real good run

But that don't mean I need to be staying up all night

Making myself think twice

Just 'cause I was happy

It's clear to me it's over

But that girl at 21

She's always gonna love you 'cause

You made her happy once

Happy once

Yeah, I was happy once

Wish that picture just stop doing what it always does

Wish that song wouldn't come on

When my heart's already halfway gone

Halfway down this leaving road, I'm on

Yeah, we were happy once

Who we were ain't who we are

We had a real good run

But that don't mean I need to be staying up all night

Making myself think twice

Just 'cause I was happy once

Happy once
