A Fine Frenzy - Happier lyrics

Quick kid quip, so harsh and cynical
Touches stricken, cold and clinical
What a transformation to behold
But I don't like this new, I want the old

It's not the words that make it final
You've said such things before to rival them
But it's how you say
'em now that's changed
Cold but sympathetic all the same

Lie to convince me that I'll be better off
So, you go on and I'll be happier
I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier

Shoot me with your rubber bullets
Your finger's on the trigger, pull it
I know you want this suffering to end
So it is forgivable my friend

It's all to convince me that
I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier

Bo-bo ba do-bo
Bo-bo ba do-bo da da da

Say what you mean, what you mean
Cause you'll be happier without me
Without me, without me
Oh

You won't convince me
That I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier
I'll be happier
You go on, you go
You'll be gone, and I'll be gone
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on, you go on
You go on and I'll go
On and I'll be happier
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on and I'll be happier

You go on, and I'll be happier
