Hearts On Parade

Cut my hair, died it red cause you said it really turns you on
Dot my Is, crossed my legs, went to bed with all my makeup on
Read a book, every book that you put on your self righteous shelf
Lost my friends, lost some weight, like a fool I even lost myself

But I had to make you happy
And nothing makes you happy

Chorus
If you let me go, if you let me go, if you let me stay, I can stay
You wont love me either way
Just a pawn, just a phase, the shangri la in your charade
If I tell you no, if I tell you no, if I run away, run away
You wont want me either way
Its just a part that I play
Were just hearts on parade

Saw a shrink, took a pill, tried to kill off what was left of me
Didnt ask, didnt tell, was a shell of who I used to be
I went numb, came undone, bit my tongue just like your mother does
Took the ring, took the blame, took the pain and did it all because


I had to make you happy
And nothing makes you happy

Theres nothing, nothing left to see here
The streets are empty now
Baby, its just, its just me here
Trying to figure out
How to make you happy

I tried to make you happy
But nothing makes you happy
