I bent my spine into a question mark Just to fit the shape you liked Traded every sharp edge of mine For a softer kind of night I rehearsed the perfect version Of a girl who’d never leave You smiled like I was winning While I quietly came apart at the seams Little gifts of silence Little deaths I called devotion I thought if I got quiet enough You’d finally feel the motion I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy Till there was nothing left of me I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy Look at the mess you get for free I wore your favorite colors Even when they made me sick Learned the jokes you never told me Practiced them until they stuck Kept a list of all your almosts Tucked behind my teeth You called it love when I was useful You called it crazy when I bleed I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy Till there was nothing left of me I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy Look at the mess you get for free Tell me what else I should erase Another laugh another name I can be whoever keeps you warm Just don’t ask me to stay the same Funny how the nicest thing I did Was slowly disappear I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy I wanted to make you happy Now smile baby This was all for you I wanted to make you happy I did I did I did
