The Happy Child (feat. Paul, Cecilia & Francis)

These same things are getting old I sit sidelined to which it all unfold It's tearing at my heart, can I look away? Don't want to leave, don't want to have to stay The people who are close to me As far away as they can be Yet constantly surrounding me with all that I hate And this happy little child Becomes just a little sadder every time They're searching for someone else like they're not satisfied I can't help the way I feel The love is there but underneath there's more concealed So many years of knowing your best self It hurts to see you becoming someone else And this happy little child Becomes just a little sadder every time They're searching for someone else like they're not satisfied And this happy little child Becomes just a little sadder every time They're searching for someone else like they're not satisfied Oh happy child, please wipe those tears from your eyes Even though you know that they're not satisfied That they're not satisfied Pretty soon this happy child Won't be able to give his happy smile This happy child will sit alone And cry
