Corey Smith - Happy Ever After Lyrics
Lately, I've been singing the bluesFor no apparent reasonI lay around on the couchPiss and moan draggin' everyone downMaybe, its always been in the bloodstreamMaybe daddy was right when he told meBoy, you're just like your mommaKeep your head up your ass all the timeI feel like a foolKickin myself black and blue for the choices I've madeDown and out Stuck in the mud sinkin' fast gettin' worse everydayGood Lord, won't you throw me a lifelineA ray of hope in the sunshineWon't you help me to find my happy ever after, AmenLately, I'm taking pills by the handfulThe doctor told me I need 'emYea he wrote me a note andSaid I hope you have a hell of a timeThey're too good, fill me up with a warm rushThe newspaper don't upset me as muchThey ain't easy to swallowBut it's better than sleepin' all dayI'm high as a kiteAt least for the time been killin' the pain in my heartLettin' go Of the guilt and the shame that are tearin' my life apartGood Lord, won't you keep me from crashin'In anyway, shape, form, or fashionCan't you fill my prescriptionHappy ever after, AmenHave mercy on meHear my pitiful prayerI need your sympathy Cause it feels like nobody cares about meSince I quit takin' care of myselfOh I'm tired, tired of the struggleAnd tired of the lies that I've toldBut I'm scaredScared that my storybook ending will never unfoldGood Lord, I'm not much for confessionBut if you can cure my depressionI swear I'll do betterHappy ever after, happy ever afterHappy ever after, Amen
