Lyrics
this is the way my life was supposed to be all love, so sure, no misery because happiness is easy happiness is easy, like growing up if you don't stop to think about it, it's already done you don't see the way life could be you're so sad it makes me crazy to make you smile i try my best one wrong step makes the rest worthless easy for you to treat me harshly why is it so hard to say you're sorry you're impossible impossible impossible happiness is easy i've never been so happy as when you smiled and told me you're leaving you make happiness look so easy your sadness is solely reserved for me i've earned the front row first prize i get to see us break down from the inside it's impossible impossible impossible but happiness is easy i've never been so happy as when you smiled and told me you're leaving you take my hand and twist my arm i hold you close, it kills your charm what good is love? what good are we? together we could never be happy we're impossible impossible impossible but happiness is easy i'm sorry to say i could never say i'm sad that you're leaving we go on alone. we say we're grown. we're on our own and it's easy wrong or right, why bother now. at last goodbye i'll show you how

Author's Notes
i like saying "happiness is easy," partly because it's kind of obnoxious. a little along the lines of "suicide is painless," aka the theme song from M*A*S*H*. i was listening to the totally amazing intro to "three to waltz" by cola wars when the germ of this song appeared. i wrote the lyrics while listening to that track so the rhythm follows it a bit. the verse melody sounds familiar to me, but i'm not sure where/whether i'm ripping it off from. someplace. maybe it's just kind of generic. in my head this song is basically performed by ok go. i tried to make it pretty to cover up for the fact that i'm not an emo band.
this song features my yamaha over and over, plus fruityloops and some crickets.
i think the sentiment of this song is really ugly. but i like it anyway, so here it is.
there are maybe too many words? maybe too many changes? i am pretty pleased on the whole though, unless it turns out really did just gank this wholesale from someone else. !!
