Investment in Happiness


You say that you're confused
about who to choose..
The guy you've loved before
but who didn't love you...
then there is me who loves you more..
I thought you knew./

You ask me how I know all of this
don't speak
just seal it with a kiss..
How could I possibly say
Because you are my investment
in happiness
everyday.../

I think it might be best if
I walk away for now
and let you make up your mind..
Think about how he broke your heart
and how
you may be running out of time..
I want to make you forget him baby
just take you and run away..
but you say that you're so confused..
you say you don't know who to choose..
this guy you loved before
but who never really cared about you
or me who loves you more..
I thought you knew
Thought you knew.../

You ask me how I know all of this
don't speak
let's just seal it with a kiss
How could I possibly say
that you're my investment in happiness
everyday...
everyday..
everyday.../

Do what you feel you need to do..
the final decision is all up to you
when you make up your mind baby,
then call me ,don't text me..
until then..
I guess it's time to let you be..
Because I'm willing to wait for a little while..
but after a little while my smile...
might just fade away..
It might fade away.../

Still you're confused as to why I write
all of this...
baby ,seal it with a kiss..
How could you possibly know
that you're my investment in happiness
everyday..
everyday.../
