Happier - Acoustic
I've never seen your face
But your blood runs through my veins
And I wish you would've stayed
My dad needed you to be brave
You didn't live up to your name
When you ran away, oh
Left my dad to
Pick up all your pieces
A broken home where
Nothing came easy
Left town, let us down
The things that I would say to you
Do you ever think of us or are you happier?
I'm sorry the ones you left couldn't make you happier, no
And was it easy for you to walk away?
And have a stranger for a son, it was just a memory
I know you'll never see the man that he became
Would you even want to?
The things I would say to you
Are you happier?
The things I would say to you
I hope that you're happier
You cut down your family tree
But we landed by streams
And we're growing deep, oh oh
I wish you could see our roots run deep
Deep in the ground, dig 'em up and see
All the pain and suffering
Replaced with grace like water, it's flowing
I wish you read the message on the bottle
Instead of numbing all of your problems
Left town, let us down
The things that I would say to you
Do you ever think of us or are you happier?
And I'm sorry the ones you left couldn't make you happier, no
And was it easy for you to walk away?
And have a stranger for a son, it was just a memory
I know you'll never see the man that he became
Would you even want to?
The things I would say to you
Are you happier?
The things I would say to you
I hope that you're happier
And, oh, after everything you've done to your family
There's grace in the blood from a Father
Who won't ever leave, no
Ooo
Do you ever think of us or are you happier?
And I'm sorry the ones you left couldn't make you happier
And was it easy for you to walk away?
You watched a son become a stranger for another drink
Though you'll never see the kids that he raised
I forgive you
Does that make you happier?
But your blood runs through my veins
And I wish you would've stayed
My dad needed you to be brave
You didn't live up to your name
When you ran away, oh
Left my dad to
Pick up all your pieces
A broken home where
Nothing came easy
Left town, let us down
The things that I would say to you
Do you ever think of us or are you happier?
I'm sorry the ones you left couldn't make you happier, no
And was it easy for you to walk away?
And have a stranger for a son, it was just a memory
I know you'll never see the man that he became
Would you even want to?
The things I would say to you
Are you happier?
The things I would say to you
I hope that you're happier
You cut down your family tree
But we landed by streams
And we're growing deep, oh oh
I wish you could see our roots run deep
Deep in the ground, dig 'em up and see
All the pain and suffering
Replaced with grace like water, it's flowing
I wish you read the message on the bottle
Instead of numbing all of your problems
Left town, let us down
The things that I would say to you
Do you ever think of us or are you happier?
And I'm sorry the ones you left couldn't make you happier, no
And was it easy for you to walk away?
And have a stranger for a son, it was just a memory
I know you'll never see the man that he became
Would you even want to?
The things I would say to you
Are you happier?
The things I would say to you
I hope that you're happier
And, oh, after everything you've done to your family
There's grace in the blood from a Father
Who won't ever leave, no
Ooo
Do you ever think of us or are you happier?
And I'm sorry the ones you left couldn't make you happier
And was it easy for you to walk away?
You watched a son become a stranger for another drink
Though you'll never see the kids that he raised
I forgive you
Does that make you happier?
