When I see you cry

Talking on the phone at night


You never tell me why

When it all goes down

And you know shit gets around

And rumors are true

I'll never have a friend quite as lovely again



And I'm not responsible for the ending that I know is inevitable



Yes, I understand you're happy now

And I understand your hand-me-down towel

Yes, I understand you're happy now

Better to be happy than to never know



Well it pins me to

An exaggerated view --

Correct me if I'm wrong

And it's man's best friend

And the tin's empty again

Degrade yourself now

I never took a pill wasn't guaranteed to thrill



And I ought to know you standing up sober

I ought to know your black & white look

I ought to know just like your dad told you

I ought to know mistakes you mis... took



You can paint it black

You can use thickest shellac

And still be see-through

And with everything I say

I mean it in the best way

To have it be true



And it's not impossible

for a friend to heed the slack behind the pull



Yes, I understand you're happy now

And I understand your hand-me-down towel

Yes, I understand you're happy now

Better to be happy



And I ought to know you standing up sober

I ought to know your black and white look

I ought to know just like your dad told you

I ought to know mistakes you mis...



Yes, I understand you're happy now

Yes, I understand you're happy now

Yes, I understand you're happy now

Yes, I understand...

Better to be happy

Than to never know
