Voices in the dead of night

Whisper words of loneliness

It's true

Footsteps echo down the hall

Comin' ever closer to you

It's not fair for mortal man

To put up with this pain

I'm goin' through



You should be happy

Now you're on your own

You should be happy

Now you're on your own



If I could walk through that door

I'd leave behind these broken memories

Trapped inside this empty room

Despiration's closing in on me

If I had your heart of stone

I could break these chains

And I'd be free



You should be happy

Now you're on your own

You should be happy

Now you're on your own



I could be happy

I could be happy, someday

If you would have tried

If you hadn't lied

We'd never be alone again



Happy

Now you're on your own

Happy

Yes, you're on your own

You should be

Happy

Now you're on your own

Happy

Oh yes, you're on your own

But, now I'm

Happy

Now I'm on my own

Happy
