lyrics

I’m playing with the necklace that you bought
It’s been a year so I should probably finally take it off
But it’s a part of me now, I can’t put it down
Then something on the stereo plays
It used to be my favorite, it’ll never be the same
You messed me up and you messed with all that I love

Why’d you have to make my happy songs sad?
I can’t listen to them without thinking about what we had
And how it’s gone
How I wish I hadn’t become so attached
I just wanna dance around my room
But all my happy songs belong to you

I can see us sitting in the park
My head is on your shoulder as the sky is going dark
We’re sharing headphones, I’m sharing parts of my heart
I kinda wish that I could take ‘em back
Oh I should’ve known that we had already started to crack
And that the love in those lines wasn’t meant to last
Why’d you have to make my happy songs sad?

I can’t listen to them without thinking about what we had
And how it’s gone
How I wish I hadn’t become so attached
I just wanna dance around my room
But all my happy songs belong to you

How dare you give me all my favorite things then turn them gray?
I built you into me
Now the foundation starts to shake
I’m doing my best to not so deeply associate these lyrics with you
But you were the one that made them great

Why’d you have to make my happy songs sad?
I can’t listen to them without thinking about what we had
And how it’s gone
How I wish I hadn’t become so attached
I just wanna dance around my room
But all my happy songs belong to you
Why do I let these songs belong to you?
