Unhappy in Our Own Way – The title is based on Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

Unhappy in Our Own Way

Verse 1
The bottles clinked behind the door,
We swore we wouldn’t fight no more.
Mama prayed, the preacher came,
But shame still sat here just the same.


Pre-Chorus
You can patch the roof, repaint the wall,
One loose brick can bring it all—
Crashing down like thunder gray,
No map out of the maze.


Chorus
All happy families sound the same,
But ours was breaking day by day.
Love’s a house of cards, it shakes—
We were unhappy in our own way.


Verse 2
I chased shadows, needles too,
Thinking I could beat the truth.
We wore our secrets like a chain,
Every link another name.


Pre-Chorus (short)
You can hide the hurt, change your tone,
Every family fights alone.



Chorus
All happy families sound the same,
But ours was breaking day by day.
Love’s a house of cards, it shakes—
We were unhappy in our own way.


Bridge
Till I found a meeting in a church hall,
Folded chairs and a phone call.
Someone said, “Man, you ain’t alone—
Every broken home can still be grown.”


Final Chorus
All happy families sound the same,
But ours is healing day by day.
Love’s a house of cards, but hey—
We can build it stronger anyway.


Outro
We’re learning love… in our own way.

Unhappy in Our Own Way  v. HauntFolk  Reidmoto: Lyrics & Producer

Promoters of any services: I'm not interested and have a team that handles everything I need. Save your time and your account and DO NOT send me messages praising my music, then hitting me up with your offer. 

ONE MESSAGE FROM ME TO MY CONTACT ON SOUNDCLOUD AND YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR LIFE. 

Now that we've got that straight...

I'm a songwriter and musician, have played in bands, play mostly guitar, and a bit of keyboards, but my primary passion is writing songs--creating cool songs that people can relate to. 

I like to write songs that have meaning and emotional impact, but try to also include some humor in them to make it not so serious and heavy. 

I hope you enjoy some of the songs.
