I’m Happy Now (I’ve lost my mind)
By BugTheRoot (Quico)
© 2011

I’m happy today I’d have to say
Although I pray for a rapid end
There’s nothing to do, I’m missing you
I guess it’s true I lost my mind and all of my friends
And when I find you in the street
It’s like the first time that we meet…

Chorus
I got nothing to lose and no power to choose
No sense in singing the blues (I never could anyway)
I don’t remember this song I think I got it all wrong
Someone’s banging a gong to get me off the stage
And now I hardly recall the way that I lost it all
Don’t know you when you call
your memory’s startin’ to fade
Now I’m shifting my gears after all of these years
Don’t need any more tears
And I don’t need the rage
That I felt all of the time
:I’m happy now that I lost my mind: 3x



Gone with the Wind I saw it again
But then again it might have been the very first time
I’m so confused I thought I knew you
Were you my wife or just a good friend of mine
And if I can’t recall your name
Would you love me just the same…

Chorus
I got nothing to lose and no power to choose
No sense in singing the blues (I never could anyway)
I don’t remember this song I think I got it all wrong
Someone’s banging a gong to get me off the stage
And now I hardly recall the way that I lost it all
Don’t know you when you call
your memory’s startin’ to fade
Now I’m shifting my gears after all of these years
Don’t need any more tears
And I don’t need the rage
That I felt all of the time
:I’m happy now that I lost my mind: 3x

When I would get sad or you made me mad
I’d think about the fun things we had done
I had all my memories
they would surround me
But all the photos faded in the sun
And now I’m sitting in this chair
With nothing left to do but stare

Chorus
I got nothing to lose and no power to choose
No sense in singing the blues (I never could anyway)
I don’t remember this song I think I got it all wrong
Someone’s banging a gong to get me off the stage
And now I hardly recall the way that I lost it all
Don’t know you when you call
your memory’s startin’ to fade
Now I’m shifting my gears after all of these years
Don’t need any more tears
And I don’t need the rage
That I felt all of the time
I’m happy now I lost my mind
