Happiness in a Jar
You know she'll give you everything
You think you'll want or need
Stay forever trapped in loneliness
Just waiting to be freed
Questions race around her head
Afraid of answers she might find
Still she'll battle every monster
Locked away inside your mind
She wants nothing more than happiness
And yet her heart still aches
But she'll hold you in the darkness
Forgiving all of your mistakes
I wonder if you realize
Every sacrifice she's made
While waiting for the promises
That are constantly delayed
Blink and you might miss it
The fire dying in her eyes
Those baby blues are dripping wet
For all she's had to compromise
In the early morning hours
She makes a wish without a star
Happy just outside her reach
On a shelf inside a jar
