Stranger to Happiness - Govana Byron Messia

Be careful who you hang around, beliefs are sticky things Stick on your shoes and on your soul and rearrange your dreams Get so good at climbin', you stop askin' where it leads On this road to happiness It's the wild unknown It's a ball-and-chain It's a no-end destination We keep drivin' anyway Is the future that we're chasin' Worth the right-nows that we miss On this road to happiness? I'm takin' time to ask myself just where I wanna be Does the flower growin' in the ground worry just like me Or does he love the sun so much that he don't mind the weeds On this road to happiness? It's the wild unknown It's a ball-and-chain It's a no-end destination We keep drivin' anyway Is the future that we're chasin' Worth the right-nows that we miss On this road to happiness? Be careful who you hang around, beliefs are sticky things It's the wild unknown It's a ball-and-chain It's a no-end destination We keep drivin' anyway Is the future that we're chasin' Worth the right-nows that we miss On this road to happiness? On this road to happiness?

Found some old forgotten photographs, yeah Looking at them kinda made me laugh, at the Big hair and the drunk smile I ain't seen him in quite a while I been lucky to live two lives but I Wouldn't want to live that one twice Yeah, the past is best left on the shelf I was a stranger to myself Before you came along Who I was back then is like an old forgotten song You showed me who I am You handed me the keys And I unlocked the door to the better part of me Without your love I'd still be Someone else A stranger to myself Just sitting on the porch with you Knowing now what I never knew, like How much more the laughter is, when you Have someone, to share it with You stretched this heart of mine A million miles wide You wouldn't even recognize the old me A stranger to myself Before you came along Who I was back then is like an old forgotten song You showed me who I am You handed me the keys And I unlocked the door to the better part of me Without your love I'd still be Someone else A stranger to myself Without your love, without your kiss Showed me what life really is I never wanna go back there again To when I was a stranger to myself Before you came along Who I was back then is like an old forgotten song You showed me who I am You handed me the keys And I unlocked the door to the better part of me Without your love I'd still be Someone else A stranger to myself Found some old forgotten photographs Looking at them kinda made me laugh, at the Big hair and the drunk smile I ain't seen him in quite a while

Struggling with confusion, disillusionment too Can turn a man into a shadow, crying out from pain Through his nightmare vision, he sees nothing, only well Blind with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger He's but a stranger to himself Suspended from a rope inside a bucket down a hole His hands are torn and bloodied from the scratching at his soul Through his nightmare vision, he sees nothing, only well Blind with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger He's but a stranger to himself Through his nightmare vision, he sees nothing, only well Blind with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger He's but a stranger to himself
