Happy The Hard Way

Every Avenue · Picture Perfect [2009]

Tell me it's over

Tell me we finally made it through

The comfort in silence

Turns to panic once again



We're caught in a landslide

We're dirty, we're broken

Black and blue

The feeling is lost in every signal that we send



How could a love hurt this bad?

How could we lose all that we had?

Why do we follow through?

What keeps us hanging on?

We lived like a storm and let it ride

For all of the times we felt alive

But sometimes love just can't make you stay

When you're happy the hard way



Say what you can't say

Say it's the end, say anything

There's something to find

In all the places that you fear



Lost in a moment

When it's only me and you

There is no other place I'd rather be but here

And those are the only times that make the world disappear



How could a love hurt this bad?

How could we lose all that we had?

Why do we follow through?

What keeps us hanging on?

We lived like a storm and let it ride

For all of the times we felt alive

But sometimes love just can't make you stay

When you're happy the hard way



Can't we see it's time to let go?

There's no saving this tomorrow

But it's just so hard to say goodbye



Tell me it's over

Tell me we finally made it through



How could a love hurt this bad?

How could we lose all that we had?

Why do we follow through?

What keeps us hanging on?

We lived like a storm and let it ride

For all of the times we felt alive

But sometimes love just can't make you stay, yeah

But sometimes love just can't make you stay

When you're happy the hard way

When you're happy the hard way

When you're happy the hard way
