Song #1 Lyrics - Posies

When I see you cry 

Talking on the phone at night 

You never tell me why 

When it all goes down 

And you know shit gets around 

And rumors are true 

I'll never have a friend quite as lovely again 

And I'm not responsible for the ending that I know is inevitable 

Yes, I understand you're happy now 

And I understand your hand-me-down towel 

Yes, I understand you're happy now 

Better to be happy than to never know 

Well it pins me to 

An exaggerated view -- 

Correct me if I'm wrong 

And it's man's best friend 

And the tin's empty again 

Degrade yourself now 

I never took a pill wasn't guaranteed to thrill 

And I ought to know you standing up sober 

I ought to know your black & white look 

I ought to know just like your dad told you 

I ought to know mistakes you mis... took 

You can paint it black 

You can use thickest shellac 

And still be see-through 

And with everything I say 

I mean it in the best way 

To have it be true 

And it's not impossible 

For a friend to heed the slack behind the pull 

Yes, I understand you're happy now 

And I understand your hand-me-down towel 

Yes, I understand you're happy now 

Better to be happy 

And I ought to know you standing up sober 

I ought to know your black and white look 

I ought to know just like your dad told you 

I ought to know mistakes you mis... 

Yes, I understand you're happy now 

Yes, I understand you're happy now 

Yes, I understand you're happy now 

Yes, I understand... 

Better to be happy 

Than to never know
