Lyrics

How To Be Happy

Remember when I was your number one?
And didn't resemble the damage done
Remember when I was the place to be?
I'd lay in your arms, and I'd fall asleep
Oh, did we stop dancing
Or did the music fade
Did we stop laughing
Or did the punchline change
I can't remember
Feels like a dream
When did we forget how to be happy
Remember when I was your biggest fan
And you felt better holding my hand
'Cause I was never second best
I would stop you breathing in my evening dress
Oh, did we stop dancing
Or did the music fade
Did we stop laughing
Or did the punchline change
I can't remember
Feels like a dream
When did we forget how to be happy
Oh, I wish you were the architect
So when I'd explode, you could build a road back
I wish I was the fire you need
Until you burned brighter without me
Oh, did we stop dancing
Or did the music fade
Did we stop laughing
Or did the punchline change
I can't remember
Feels like a dream
When did we forget how to be happy
Oh, when did we forget how to be happy
