Lyrics The Lumineers

The Lumineers

It Wasn't Easy to Be Happy for You

On the last time we met, your love was there

You held my hand, bit your tongue

Shut me out, spilled my blood all around

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too

You held your punches back and I left the room

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

All alone you always felt

We dragged you down, gave me hell

Made your bed, now you sleep

On your own, yes, well, see...

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too

You held your punches back and I left the room

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

I know that you tried

But you're no friend of mine

Falling apart

You played it the best

A dame in distress

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

Yeah, I wrapped my neck and prayed that you'd feel the noose

I saw the restaurant table for two

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too

You held your punches back and I left the room

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

Yeah, yeah

Yeah
