Are You Happy Now? Lyrics

Under lock and key

You sit there willing tears to fall

I climbed the tower

You wiped my footprints from the wall

After all these years you'd think that

something might have changed

But you're still wrapped in cotton wool

and the dragons roar beneath you unslain

Watch the pieces fall into place

Now you have

time to practise your poker face

When somebody's pulling your strings

You're not real

So tell me can you still feel a sting

Or are you happy now?

Hopeful perseverance can't push together

what's forced apart

Toxic sterile atmosphere

causing friction 'tween head and heart

Now I can see you never

cared for me at all

Keeping up appearances

a new miserable experience

Watch the pieces fall into place

Now you have

time to practise your poker face

When somebody's pulling your strings

You're not real

So tell me can you feel anything?

The choice was mine, you made it

Think of the time you wasted

Now and then I think of what might have been

I gotta tell you it makes me shiver

I've moved onto bigger and better things

and burned the clippings from the paper

You invite me back in your routine

to carry on as if nothing happened

As fickle as a fortune telling fish

but sorry honey you're no cracker

Watch the pieces fall into place

Now you have time to practise your poker face

When somebody's pulling your strings

You're not real

So tell me can you feel anything?

Watch the pieces fall into place

Now you have time to practise your poker face

When somebody's pulling your strings

You're not real

So tell me can you still feel a sting

Or are you happy now?

Are you happy now?

Are you happy now?

Are you happy now?

Because I'm happy now
