The Pain Of Happiness

I cut back on everything, still can't handle it
No food or alcohol, no more sleep
But I saw you in a memory not linked to the past
And I've seen a place of being younger
To the sound of Jericho before the fall

No one told me about the pain of happiness
I'm racing against the tide with my best clothes on
Oh my, you have to do this on your own

Think it was the right decision at least a decision at all
My jaded outlooks sweeping by
And I saw you in a memory from far ahead
Ain't it hard the beginning of the end came
Just before the end of the beginning?

No one told me about the pain of happiness
I'm racing against the tide with my best clothes on

No one told me about the pain of happiness
I'm racing against the tide, I got my best clothes on
No one told me about the pain of happiness
Oh, my friend don't let your life ruin your life

Just because they didn't tell us about the pain
About the pain
