I will find a
happy place for you
and keep it in my heart
so you’ll have
somewhere safe to stay
when we are apart
Truth came knocking
at your door
you wouldn’t let it in
you took the letters
that it wrote
and threw them in the bin
It is not my fault
you cannot see
the place where real truth lies
an apparition
although so bright and clear
couldn’t unveil
your sceptic eyes
There really is no hope for us
while you’re in
such a negative state
the ball is firmly
In your court
to seal your lover’s fate
So find a happy place
and keep it safe for me
find a happy place
for that’s where
I want to be
