Too Happy - Tracey Thorn

Just what has happened now

I don’t know

So happy five minutes ago

Laughing and talking of things that we planned

Then a wrong word and you dropped my hand

Sometimes I don’t think and say things I don’t mean

Expect you to read all the spaces between

Careless words I know you so soon regret

Cry cause I can’t bear you to think I’m upset

Then I joke and say now I’ll go home

But you should know I’d never leave you here alone

Why must we go through these little scenes

Each wondering what the other’s silence means

I wouldn’t break it by turning to shout

So soon forget what I was angry about

I never believed that you could be too happy

But I realize now that we can be

When we can’t cope with this love that we’ve found

Seems we’ll say anything to knock it down

Then I realize I love you more

And is that what we go through this for?
