  • Please be happy
    'Cause you know I cannot bear to see you
    In this state of melancholy
    Curled up in your chair

    Please don't worry
    'Cause the world won't break apart as easy
    As the glass
    You dropped and smashed
    When you tried to climb the stairs

    There was a time
    Not long ago
    You stood right by your window
    And your arms were painted feather like
    So sure that you could fly

    But these days, it's like a wave is breaking over you
    Dragging you in with the undertow
    If you lay among the graves, you will see other ghosts
    I still believe this love can grow

    But these days, it's like a wave is breaking over you
    Dragging you in with the undertow
    If you lay among the graves, you will see other ghosts

    Please be happy
    'Cause you know I cannot bear to see you
    In this state of melancholy
    Curled up in your chair Writer/s: Roland Orzabal, Sacha Skarbek
