Jacob McDonald - The Happy Child (feat. Paul, Cecilia & Francis) Lyrics

These same things are getting old
I sit sidelined to which it all unfold
It's tearing at my heart, can I look away?
Don't want to leave, don't want to have to stay
The people who are close to me
As far away as they can be
Yet constantly surrounding me with all that I hate

And this happy little child
Becomes just a little sadder every time
They're searching for someone else like they're not satisfied

I can't help the way I feel
The love is there but underneath there's more concealed
So many years of knowing your best self
It hurts to see you becoming someone else

And this happy little child
Becomes just a little sadder every time
They're searching for someone else like they're not satisfied

And this happy little child
Becomes just a little sadder every time
They're searching for someone else like they're not satisfied
Oh happy child, please wipe those tears from your eyes
Even though you know that they're not satisfied
That they're not satisfied

Pretty soon this happy child
Won't be able to give his happy smile
This happy child will sit alone
And cry
