Happiest Girl - Stephen Dawes

Don't hold my hand, don't beg me back Don't say that we'll make it through this Yeah, if I'm so beautiful, then why? The doors we slammed, the plates we smashed Echo with the sound of madness I can't remember why we try My heart only wants you The moment you say no But tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world You'll see like it doesn't matter Tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world You'll see like it never happened I can stop the tears if I want to I can stop the tears if I want to I can stop the tears if I want to But tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world You'll see like it never happened Don't make us saints, we're wards of pain The past and a perfect picture There's no one else to blame this time Don't change the truth we can't undo The high we chase, steal the crash, no You're not the one who gets to cry My heart only wants you The moment you say no But tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world You'll see like it doesn't matter Tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world You'll see like it never happened I can stop the tears if I want to I can stop the tears if I want to I can stop the tears if I want to But tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world You'll see like it never happened All it takes is a smooth pop of a bottle top To fix a heart, a broken heart, baby All it takes is a little rolling paper Take us to the start, go back to the start But tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world You'll see like it doesn't matter Tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world You'll see like it never happened I can stop the tears if I want to I can stop the tears if I want to I can stop the tears if I want to But tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world You'll see like it never happened

Can I take another hit Another sip without me judging myself I couldn't handle it One time I couldn't walk, but I could talk Imagine that and it's a fact I got a devil on my shoulder but sometimes it's in my head Tried to cut it off it bled Yeah of course it caused me pain It Is me and I am it Considered more than a friend And I admit I like it dark but not that empty I could go with a machete and cut out everything That won't serve a purpose to me But I am self aware And I do many things And one of them is not to pull you like a puppet string I bite I bark I lead I fly I play I never sting It's the things that don't seem to matter that give me wings I drowned a million times before but I never forgot to sing Liquor was my best friend and some weed I was a fiend A bunch of other But i'm cleaning out my closet Picket signs and skeletons Clean How does it feel when you let it go You move your body like never before You're like a girl in a video A film about kicking down the doors Always wonder when you slip and fall If you're tired don't be shy to crawl Back on your feet it might take a while Face on the ground but you keep your smile Crack my knuckles yes I think that i'm invincible I don't answer to you, just out of principle It get really low sometimes but it is beautiful It's crazy when you know something but at times it just slips away Ricochet, out of your mind thoughts are kept at bay I wonder why my legs are shaking that's some scary shit I hope for it to stop but its my brain that's controlling it I'll put the kettle on and hope this herbal tea relaxes me Got some shivers while I'm writing all this truthfulness Pouring out of me like im a tipped cup spilling my madness I'm the happiest but saddest at the same time I climb to reach my prime but I got baggage to unwind I'm fine Really I am and when you pry I'll decline Privacy's my sanctuary, safe is divine I feel the safest when I know that what is mine is mine I'm a mime with a finger up, that's a sign How does it feel when you let it go You move your body like never before You're like a girl in a video A film about kicking down the doors Always wonder when you slip and fall If you're tired don't be shy to crawl Back on your feet it might take a while Face on the ground but you keep your smile

She went from table manners to tunnel vision to premature farewells With a restlessness reserved for those who believe in themselves She thought the world was hers, so she made sure it bent beneath her will She was as new and as ancient as the solar paneled hills She was certain she could take this town by storm The wonder of sound and light seeking a form But somewhere along the way The dots didn't all connect The promise became regrets Somewhere along the way The dream and the circumstance Continue their tortured dance Somewhere along the way She was my lullaby personified, my vision in the mist But her contacts were all promoters and a westside therapist The 5 a.m's, the worried friends the parting of her lips But I needed to witness someone wrestle with what it means to just exist How her only plan in life was getting lost How she took me to the edge and made me watch But somewhere along the way The running just lost it's fun It happens to everyone Somewhere along the way Her trail became too obscure But that was her signature She would talk about letting go, I guess I didn't understand Giving over to the currents that were there since time began And on a long drive from El Paso to the Pacific Ocean cliffs I finally felt connected to the continental drift But somewhere along the way I started to smile again I don't remember when Somewhere along the way Things will turn out just fine I know it's true this time Somewhere along the way

You have found me on the other side of a loser's winning streak Where my thoughts all wander further than they should Let me sing to you my solitude, let me pay for your next drink Let me defend these hearts which are so rarely understood From the right angle, in the right light I might seem like I could take care of you For a brief moment, for a few nights Until the changing world has tumbled back into view When nothing really matters the world gets harder to resist And saves you a place at the end of an empty glass I am here as a reminder, the quick glance off of a cliff I guess that's why I thought you would never ask From the right angle, in the right light I might seem like I could take care of you For a brief moment, for a few nights Until the changing world has tumbled back into view At the scene of all I've left unlearned, in the directions to your house In every swing I took to crack the code I need a cold beer from a dressing room, I need a string of dates back out I think there are a few of us that still belong out on the road From the right angle, in the right light I might seem like I could take care of you For a brief moment, for a few nights Until the changing world has tumbled back into view Until all you want is all I know how to do I might seem like I could take care of you
