All The Happiness I Stole

She's the one who gives me purpose

She completes me, makes me whole

And I should be the one who's punished

For all the happiness I stole

I never noticed anyone else

Too wrapped up in my chase

Now no one smiles, no one cares

No one stares me in the face

I wish I could go back in time

To undo all the misery I caused

For I wish I could have stopped to listen

I wish that I had paused

To listen to her wonderful words

Her glee and bubbly ways

And now we are not five, but four

For the rest of our heroic days

What I did, ate her up inside

So that she disappeared of heartache

But through all of the cruel things I did

Above all her heart was the one to break

And when her heart has healed

I will stand at the door crying

And I don't care how long the wait

As long as she comes through the sky flying

Until she returns and re-enters our lives

I will keep one steady goal

I will create all of the joy that she sowed

And replace all the happiness I stole
