Who Gets to Be Happy Lyrics by Abby Anderson
I said I wanted a castle in the clouds
So you built me a ladder to the sky
And I’m finding out all these years you’ve missed the ground
I didn’t know you were terrified of heights
Who gets to be happy
You always say you were born to be a father
Breaking me watching you patiently wait
And I keep saying give me two years longer
What happens when two years is too late
Who gets to be happy
Who gets to survive
Baby, me or you
‘Cause somebody’s drowning
Keeping the other alive
Tell me who
Gets to be happy
And when does it get to be you
You went from wide open spaces out in Georgia
To waking up in a condo next to me
And I know this ain’t the life you dreamt for ya
Chasing my dreams with me to Tennessee
Who gets to be happy
Who gets to survive
Baby, me or you
‘Cause somebody’s drowning
Keeping the other alive
Tell me who
Gets to be happy
And when does it get to be you
Oh and I promise one day
I’ll give back what you had to give up
And I promise once I reach the stars
You’ve been helping me touch
You’ll get your dream house in Blue ridge
The family with two kids
And everything you deserve
And it won’t be
Who gets to be happy
Who gets to be happy
Oh
Who gets to be happy
Who gets to survive
Baby, me and you
Ain’t nobody drowning
Just keeping the other alive
As long as you
Get to be happy
Well baby I’ll be happy too
