You Could Be Happy

I always fall in love with songs having aching, touching, and sweet lyrics. The type of song that will move you. And Snow Patrol is one of the great bands out there whose songs have such beautiful lyrics. I love listening to them although most of their songs are sad and haunting.

You Could Be Happy has a wonderful bittersweet lyrics yet simple melody. But for me, the simplicity of the melody makes the song perfect.

This song makes me sad but I still love it . Watch the video. The animation fits the song perfectly.

You could be happy and I won’t know
But you weren’t happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops ’till it’s madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I’d been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it’s all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don’t think, just do

More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

I love it! I love it! I love it! ^_^
