CAN`T BE HAPPY FOR TOO LONG






 CAN`T BE HAPPY FOR TOO LONG




When happiness reigns it doesn`t last long
I often wonder what I have done wrong,
Something comes along and spoils it for me
Why is it the past just can`t let me be.



I want to forget I don`t want to think
For I know if I do my heart will sink,
As hard as I try it doesn`t let go
Then the pain just seems to grow and grow.



Sometimes a spoken word can set it off
And I try very hard to brush it off,
Sometimes it`s words written in black and white
Which my brain seems to endlessly recite.



I wish some of my past would go away
And let me be happy for more than a day,
Then there`d be no worry what was said
And written words wouldn`t go round my head.
