You  could  be happy  and I won't know
 But you weren't happy the day  I watched  you go
 And all the things that I wish  I had  not said
 Are played on lips 'til it's madness  in  my head
 Is it too late to remind  you how  we were?
 But not our last days of silent,  screaming  blur
 Most of what I remember  makes  me sure
 I should have stopped you from walking  out  the door
 You could be happy,  I hope  you are
 You made me happier than  I'd been  by far
 Somehow everything I  own smells  of you
 And for the tiniest moment  it's all  not true
 Do the things that you always  wanted  to
 Without me there to hold you  back, don't think,  just do
 More than anything I want  to see  you go
 Take a glorious bite  out of the  whole world
