|
Inside a darkened room |
|
Come face to face with gloom |
|
More sorrow on the way |
|
Ruining another day |
|
It doesn't get you anywhere |
|
To wallow in your own despair |
|
Cause happiness is the best revenge |
|
My father punched the clock |
|
Raised his kids like another job |
|
Did well financially |
|
But so remote emotionally |
|
Let it go, it's so far gone |
|
Malignant if it lingers on |
|
Cause happiness is the best revenge |
|
You're a victim you complain |
|
You won first prize for pain |
|
You wave your trophy high |
|
At everyone who passes by |
|
Some people can't bear to see |
|
You living happily |
|
Had you guilt-tripped for years |
|
So much invested in those tears |
|
I know my life would be so nice |
|
If I could follow my own advice |
|
Cause happiness is the best revenge |
