There's a beating in my chest
Heavy breath in my lungs
A fire in my muscles
Pushing me to carry on
My ears ring with a chorus
Of the angel's hallelujah
I'm not sure of what I'm feeling
But I'm sure that I want more
I'm sure that I want more
I've worked my fingers til they've bled
Tears on sleepless nights I've shed
I was never too afraid of the fall
I've always given it all I had
You came into my life
And gave me your all
Brought purpose to this strife
And gave me all I'd ever want
I don't know when this started
But I'm scared that it might end
So I guess this is really it
This is happiness
So this is it
This is what they call happiness
As her little angel smile
Is the wind behind my breath
As I lay her down to rest
I pray to god her soul he'll keep
And if the devil comes to clear my debt
I hope he just takes me
I pray to god he just takes me
Now I lay me down to sleep
I never prayed my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I'd thank the devil, my debt'd be paid
But as I lay her down to rest
With folded hands and lowered head
If I die before I wake
I'd curse your god for pulling me away
So this is it
This is what they call happiness
As her little angel smile
Is the wind behind my breath
As I lay her down to rest
I pray to god her soul he'll keep
And if the devil comes to clear my debt
I hope he just takes me
I pray to god he only takes me
I don't know when this started
But I'm scared that it might end
I don't know when this started
But god I hope it never ends
So this is it
This is what they call happiness
As her little angel smile
Is the wind behind my breath
As I lay her down to rest
I pray to god her soul he'll keep
And if the devil comes to clear my debt
I hope he just takes me
I pray to god he only takes me
