the dog from your father
is running from the house

you’re running behind, naked torso
no words are leaving my mouth

but i see you, your sweaty back
running down the hill

i feel weight inside the stomach
i feel air under my feet

CHORUS
it’s so hard to be happy
which way will i fuck this up
it’s a lie, you don’t love me
don’t touch me with these caring hands
the light in this mountain
it’s too pretty, i’d prefer the dark
i can’t breath, give me ten seconds
‘cause dried tears are coming back

the next morning we wake up
birds sing to the pretty sunrise

your mom cooked some breakfast
it’s weird she likes me this much

the juice is so sweet
or so i can taste from your lips

didn’t mean to cry
was just thinking why do i deserve all this

CHORUS
it’s so hard to be happy
which way will i fuck this up
it’s a lie, you don’t love me
don’t touch me with these caring hands
the light in this mountain
it’s too pretty, i’d prefer the dark
i can’t breath, give me ten seconds
‘cause dried tears are coming back

i can’t believe you have a horse
did you really name it George
it’s too funny, is it a joke?

and i look at the sky
i’m searching a light
bringing God down to the floor

he’ll say it’s a mistake
this life isn’t my fate
take away this dangerous love

or maybe it’s dream,
come and pinch my skin,
time to wake up

CHORUS
it’s so hard to be happy
which way will i fuck this up
it’s a lie, you don’t love me
don’t touch me with these caring hands
the light in this mountain
it’s too pretty, i’d prefer the dark
i can’t breath, give me ten seconds
‘cause dried tears are coming back
