Happy In My Heartache
Josh Groban · All That Echoes [2013]
Just can't seem to wake up this aching heart of mine
One more day without you and I'll be fine
I know I'm good for waiting but waitings wasted time
Oh and I, I don't take it lightly,
The trouble that I've gone through, to get you to know who I am
Oh and I, I can't find a reason to be happy in this heartache,
'Cause I should know better than that
I'm better than that
Wicked winds are blowing through the halls
These old familiar faces are clinging to the walls
I know its cold but I can't feel at all
And I know these walls are crumbling,
And I won't stay to watch them fall
Oh and I, I don't take it lightly,
The trouble that I've gone through, to get you to know who I am
Oh and I, I can't find a reason to be happy in my heartache,
'Cause I should know better than that
But I can't stop loving you
I don't know what to do
To keep holding on
Oh and I, I don't take it lightly,
The trouble that I've gone through, I've given you all that I am
Oh and I, I can't find a reason to be happy in my heartache,
'Cause I should know better than that
Oh I'm better than that
