When everything starts to turn around
And the sun decides to show its face
The darkness comes again
And the happiness fades away
Happiness is meant for nobody
I have learned this through the little life I’ve lived
No matter how old or how young
The circle never stops spinning
I have never met a person truly happy
Longer than a few day at most
Something is always ruined
The wheel of the world is always at work
I know they say what doesn’t kill you
Makes you Stronger
But looking at you kills me
I would rather be weaker with you
Than stronger without you
The smile on your face kills me
I used to smile back
But now I know it’s not for me
I don’t know who its for
But its not me, and it kills me.
To know you have other reasons to smile
Smiles are contagious
But yours just makes me cry
