At the first attack You were holding back So at the first attack, she fell right off the floor But as time went on She thought she might be wrong Because as time went on, she found out who you were *CHORUS* How could it be that she's happy now? How could it be she's so happy now? Then you made a change Let yourself be blamed And you made a change, for a while things were fine But she found out fast That it would not last And she found out fast, you did nothing to change her mind *CHORUS* How could it be that she's happy now? How could it be she's so happy now? So happy that you're gone! Now, let me get this straight I don't mean to interpose here or nothin' but Seems to me you didn't really change it all man! Now, if you want her, go get her But you better be better Cuz if you leave her unsure, she'll walk out the door And knowing you, you'd let her *CHORUS* How could it be that she's happy now? How could it be she's so happy now? How could it be that she's happy now? How could it be she's so happy now? So happy that you're gone! Yeah, yeah, yeah! She's so happy now She's so happy that you're gone!

Oh my baby Like the stars in the sky How you light up the night And lead me home I'm unsteady Cause my heart didn't know Just how fast it could go Til I met you *CHORUS* There is a light all around you Everything else slips away And all that remains Is the glow of your star-laden face Oh, don't you let this feeling be untrue Oh sweet darling If I seem so bemused It's because I'm not used To something real Lonely daughter I don't know what to do I'm so taken by you You're so surreal Oh... *CHORUS* Oh my baby You look so good tonight And I don't mean to cause no fright When I say I love you, darling And if there's any pearl In this cold, cold world Well, you know darlin' It'd have to be you Because... *CHORUS* Don't you let this feeling be untrue.

Starda Knew 03:09
Deep in the orchards of your mind Lay buried a rose you're desperate to find Beneath all the jaded gray insights Glossed in nostalgic glazing of white Feeling your heart sinking so deep You take to your bed, fix your head, go to sleep But that won't mend your bended view If you want courage Start anew You don't need the sun to start your day You don't need to talk when you've nothing to say Just keep your feelings sealed in view Look out the window Start anew Throw your ego out the door What on earth are you waiting for? There must be some ancient loss in your mind You wanna forget and set to the side But that won't ever let you free So let me know what you're waiting for *GUITAR SOLO* Look at the man outside your door Dressed out of place and pacing the floor He's wearing the rags that you once knew Let him in again! Start anew
