You had the best
But you gave her up
'Cause dependency might interrupt
Idealistic will so hard to please
Put your indecisive mind at ease
You broke the set
Now there's only singles
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

[Chorus:]
Are you happy now?
How is it now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy?

The uncertainty you had of me
Brought cloudy shady company
The tenderness habitual
A seldom-fading ritual
You killed the pair
Now only one is breathing

There's no looking back
This time I mean it

[Chorus:]
No more leaning on your shoulder
I won't be there, no more bother
If you feel you just might want me
That's too bad, I'm not the easy
The contemplator all those years
Now you must adhere
To your new career of liberation
You've been cast all by yourself
You're free at last You broke the set
Now there's only singles

There's no looking back
This time I mean it

[Chorus:]
You're by yourself
All by yourself
You have no one else
You're by yourself

i'll take care of you
i'm your one and all
we belong together baby
whenever i call
grab my fingers
grab my hand
grab everything you can cause
i'm the the best friend
i'll take care of you
i'm your one and all
we belong together baby
whenever i call
grab my fingers
grab my hand
grab everything you can cause
i'm the the best friend you ever had
are you happy now
c'mon play that game and bring me down
are you happy now
i know you and i'm not your clown
i don't know what you're talking about
but i know what's good for you
hey now i'll give you everything and tomorrow you'll get the rest
grab my fingers
grab my hand
grab everything you can cause
i'm the the best friend you ever had
are you happy now
c'mon play that game and bring me down
are you happy now

What would you say to me
If I told you I had a dream
If I told you everything
Would you tell me to go back to sleep

Take a look in these tired eyes
They're coming back to life
I know I can change, got hope in my veins
I tell you I ain't going back to the pain

Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down

I just wanna scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turning my world around

Can I be happy now
Can I break free somehow
I just wanna live again
Love again
Pick my pride up off of the ground

I'm ready to pick a fight
Crawl out of the dark to shine a light
I ain't throwing stones, got sins of my own
Ain't everybody just trying to find a way home

Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down

I just wanna scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turning my world around

You're born then you die, it's all gone in a minute
I ain't looking back, 'cause I don't want to miss it
You better live now
Cause no one's going to get out alive

Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down

I just wanna scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turning my world around

Can I be happy now? - [oohoohooh]
I'm turning my world around

Can I be happy now?

Happy now, I wonder are you, happy now?
Now that you've had me..and i'm on my own, all alone.
Are you happy now?
I recall the way you always looked at me, you chose those words effectively to work your way, inside of me.
I had so much to give, but you didn't have to take it all. The pain i'm left with, i'm wondering, are you happy now? Are
you happy now?
Happy now, I wonder, are you still happy now? Now that i've left you and you're on your own,
All alone, are you happy now?
What goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down down down. Why did it take me so long to see you make me so
unhappy ooh?
And now I know, and now I know.
Happy now, guess you could say i'm happy now. We'll meet again some day some how. But until then, look whose happy, look
whose happy, look whose happy now. (guess you could say i'm happy now, guess you could say i'm happy now.)
