Makes You Happy

It’s not your fault
It’s not my fault
It’s not anybody’s to take
We’re not the same
It’s just the pain
It’s not anything we should make of it
It’s not the time
It’s not the place
For anyone to take each other’s name
It’s just my life, it’s not your life
What the hell do you care if I ache?
If it makes you happy
When I trip and fall
You’ll just call me sappy
You’ve got no self-control
Maybe I’ll find a friend or two in these next few weeks
I swear you’ve lost a smile or two in these past few nights
Sometimes I want
Sometimes I need
Just to get away from you all
But now’s not the time
Not the place
I need you all here to lift me up
If it makes you happy
I’ll remove my eyes
So that I’m always indifferent
To the changes in my life
Let’s not talk now
It’s far too late
Our faces morph and become estranged
I wake in the morning to remember my name
I’ve dreamt too much and
I’m not the same
My red insatiable hunger
I’m starving my id
I hope it might make me feel new
I can’t do this for you
