Margot Vandersmissen - Happy (A Sad Song) lyrics

[Verse 1] I close the door behind me as my thoughts open up I burn my tongue on my tea, make a lazy blanket fort I need to write, I need to think I really need to feel I need to make these dark clouds seem valid, seem real [Verse 2] I pick up a pen I pick up my mind Pick up the bits of me that I left behind I'm ready to let my thoughts pour out But instead I write [Verse 3] About a happier day that doesn't belong to me Sweet words whispered on tv A pretty smile, a perfect ending So close your eyes, let's start pretending [Pre-Chorus] That if I write a happy song My thoughts will start to sing along Am I a coward for shying away from my brain When my smile's been brave all through the day Tears stain my pillow, salty pride As I write [Chorus] Another story is told Another tale I stole From bluer skies and better lives I dust of my smile And after I while I start singing Another story is told Another tale I stole From bluer skies and better lives I dust of my smile And after I while I start singing [Outro] Now I've sung a happy song I'm still waiting for my thoughts to sing along
