A Happier Past lyrics

(Verse 1)

All the years...when was it good?

When did I ever smile

All the cheers...all the love

Yet, it's still not worth while

All I wish is to fill the void in me

All I want is a second chance

Why was I such a coward? Why was I a fool?

I guess I won't be earning that dance

I still hold the thoughts within

All my broken chances and sins

Why can't I find the sanity I once embraced

I must fight the tears on my face

(Chorus)

I have faced my pain

I've been ridiculed for all that I do

Oh, it's such a shame

I still can't fix myself even when I'm with you

I have faked every smile

For all my hopes and dreams have been torn by my strife

Through all the traveled miles

I don't see my purpose for my life

All I pray, wish, and hope for

Is to go back to a happier past

(Verse 2)

All my flaws...they studied close

Just to reveal my shame

Some can't forget my worst mistakes

And now I'm stuck with this bad name

All I plead is for those to forget my flaws

All I ask for is a new start

Why was I so cheap? Why was I a creep?

I can't fix my broken heart

You may say I can fight it all

But, I still face a fall

Love can't save me anymore

Why can't things be like they were before?

(Chorus)

I have faced my pain

I've been ridiculed for all that I do

Oh, it's such a shame

I still can't fix myself even when I'm with you

I have faked every smile

For all my hopes and dreams have been torn by my strife

Through all the traveled miles

I don't see my purpose for my life

All I pray, wish, and hope for

Is to go back to a happier past

(Bridge)

I remember the smile I shared

And when they truly cared

But, she broke me and now I can't fight

And the psychotic memories remain inside

Long ago, when I was normal

I shared my fragile heart

I should've took my leap to love happily

But, instead my monster tore me apart

(Chorus)

I have faced my pain

I've been ridiculed for all that I do

Oh, it's such a shame

I still can't fix myself even when I'm with you

I have faked every smile

For all my hopes and dreams have been torn by my strife

Through all the traveled miles

I don't see my purpose for my life

All I pray, wish, and hope for

Is to go back to a happier past

(Outro)

Thank you all for sticking by my side

But, for now this is my goodbye
