Happiness Has a Half-Life Lyrics

Am I alive or just an illustration?
A lovely lie in cruel disguise
I'm blind with fear
That a biographical error got us here
And now it's my move
Happiness has a half-life
Watch it go
Quietly into midnight
Dark and low
And I should've known
All the damage it would do
I'm not looking for trouble
I'm not looking for trouble with you
I seized the day in the total wrong direction
A big mistake with no consequence
Am I alive? I'm afraid to ask the question
Put out the fire and burned my house down

Am I alive or just an illustration?
A lovely lie in cruel disguise
Happiness has a half-life
Watch it go
Quietly into midnight
It's dark and it's low
And I should've known
All the damage it could do
I'm not looking for trouble
But I'm getting in trouble
I'm not looking for trouble
But I'm getting in trouble
with you
