"Please Be Happy" lyrics - TEARS FOR FEARS

Please be happy
'Cause you know I cannot bear to see you
In this state of melancholy
Curled up in your chair

Please don't worry
'Cause the world won't break apart as easy
As the glass
You dropped and smashed
When you tried to climb the stairs

[Pre-Chorus:]
There was a time
Not long ago
You stood right by your window
And your arms were painted feather-like
So sure that you could fly

[Chorus:]
But these days, it's like a wave is breaking over you
Dragging you in with the undertow
If you lay among the graves, you will see other ghosts
I still believe this love can grow

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
But these days, it's like a wave is breaking over you
Dragging you in with the undertow
If you lay among the graves, you will see other ghosts

Please be happy
'Cause you know I cannot bear to see you
In this state of melancholy
Curled up in your chair
