“It Wasn’t Easy to Be Happy for You” introduces us to Jimmy’s son Junior who has recently been left by his girlfriend for another man. As with both Donna and Jimmy, Junior is left by someone who can’t deal with his destructive behaviour. In their LiveXLive performance, Wes called it a ‘breakup song’...
It Wasn’t Easy to Be Happy for You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On the last time we met
Your love was dead
You held my hand
Bit your tongue
Shut me out
Spilled my blood
All around
[Chorus]
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison, praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
[Verse 2]
All alone
You always felt
We dragged you down
Gave me hell
Made your bed
Now you sleep
On your own
Guess we'll see
[Chorus]
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison, praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
[Bridge]
I know that you tried
But you're no friend of mine
Falling apart
You played it the best
A dame in distress, ooh
[Chorus]
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I wrapped my neck and prayed that you'd feel the noose
I saw the restaurant table for two
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison, praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
