lyrics

I don't want to fight with you
(I just want you to be happy)
but we need to talk it through
(I just want you to be happy)
You gotta learn to let people in
Let em be what they've always been
Learn to tell a crime from a sin
I just want you to be happy

You're not very self aware
(I just want you to be happy)
But I know you can take it there
(I just want you to be happy)
You gotta learn how to walk the line
Watch the canary in the mine
You're crying wolf all the time
I just want you to be happy

I can still see you there, with the wind blowing through your hair
and the seagulls flown asunder
I read the look on your face, as you shifted in your place
on the rocks with your mother
and I wonder...
The trunk gives to the branch what it gets from under
the branch drops to the ground the fruits of it's plunder
is it any wonder?

You don't wanna break the law
(I just want you to be happy)
but you're left with the shortest straw
(I just want you to be happy)
you gotta learn when to call it quits
gotta know when to take the hit
walk away or commit
I just want you to be happy
