Happily Ever After

If love is timed
Why have it?
If care is timed
Why have it?
Why have it only to lose it?

Why have it fill you with joy
Only to rob you of it just like that
Why is pain such a staple emotion?
Why can’t happiness be forever?
Why is life such a difficult time?

Why can’t life be paradise
Why do things come to an end
What's the point of it all when we just disappear after it all
Why even live life if it adds to nothing

What's the point of it all?
What's the joy in it all?
When will pain end for joy to start
I keep wondering
I keep looking
For my happily ever after
But all I find is happy until

Happy until she leaves
Happy until he leaves
Happy until I leave
Happy until I fail
Happy until I die
Always happy until, never happily ever after

Always happy until, never happily ever after
Happy with them, unhappy without
Happy if, never just because
Happy for now, never for long
Happiness so fleeting
Happiness so rare
That if I'm happy
I think something is afoot
Or Dread that it'll leave

I can't even enjoy those moments
Because Happiness is so rare
Because Happiness is so foreign

So, I keep wondering
So, I keep looking
For the pure happiness I once had
The happiness that came so easy
A happiness I haven't known in forever
The happiness I know is the solution
The happiness I know is the remedy

So, tell me lord
When can I find it?
Where can I find it?
When can I have it?
How can I have it?
