The Pursuit of Happiness

Need to hear your voice
Reaching for a phone
No, nothing else right now
Could make me feel more alone

Empty words
Make up my conversation
These words I'm speaking
No communication

Just cause I'm alive
Doesn't mean I'm living
What am I saying?
No, What am I giving?

I'm saying how I feel
That if there was a way
But there's no fairytale
Not that I deserve one, anyway

You've given me poems
You've dragged me along
More then that, you've made me smile
Though everything feels wrong

It's now about midnight
Waiting for dawn
I can't fall asleep
Something is wrong

The pursuit of happiness
They say its a pursuit not a place
The pursuit of happiness
I'm losing this race

Yesterday was the first day
I woke up from a day dream
I'm holding your hand
Ironic it seems

The pursuit of happiness
I say it's a place
I've seen it every time
I bring a smile to your face

The pursuit of happiness
A wild goose chase
In the end you get hurt
Kinda like our case

Please listen closely
Please listen to me
Some things aren't possible
We weren't meant to be

Last words of a poem
Always break my heart
I think poetry
Is a broken art
