Now Don't just walk away Pretending everythings okay and you don't care about me And I know it's just no use When all your lies become your truths and I don't care Could you look me in the eye And tell me that you're happy now Would you tell it to my face Have I been erased Are you happy now Are you happy now You took all there was to take And left me with an empty plate And you don't care about it Yeah And I am giving up this game And leaving you with all the blame Cause I don't care Could you look me in the eye And tell me that you're happy now Would you tell it to my face Have I been erased Are you happy now Are you happy now Are you happy now Do you really have everything you want? You could never give something you ain't got You can't run away from yourself Could you look me in the eye And tell me that you're happy now Would you tell it to my face Have I been erased Are you happy now Are you happy now Would you look me in the eye Could you look me in the eye I've had all that I can take I'm not about to break Are you happy now? Are you happy now?
