are you happy now?

i saw your picture in the paper today

i didn't know the eyes

but i recognized your face

i read what you're doing and doing it in style

last year i might have cried

but tonight i'll try to smile

are you happy now?

i let your birthday pass

i met your friends at last

i didn't even ask if you're happy now

i barely made each night

somehow the days rolled by

the part that loved you died

are you happy now?

saw you walking in the rain and holding no one's hand

i started feeling things that i couldn't understand

now you're swinging from my heart

i'm ringing up my friends

before it all begins
