Happy Tears. ( Shayne)

Lyrics

happy tears? .....

Shayne.......

this something I'm not used too.........

(Chorus 1)
For the first time in my life these tears ain't pain (ain't pain)
they fall from happiness, not trauma in my veins (my veins)
She walked in and somehow changed everything (everything)
gave my broken heart a reason to dream
Puff puff passsssss... watch the smoke drift high (drift high)
used to smoke just tryna survive
Now I smile when I look in her eyes (her eyes)
and I finally understand why I'm alive

(Verse 1)
Forty years carryin' scars on my back (my back)
thought real love was somethin' I lacked
Every woman before wore a different disguise (a disguise)
left me bleedin' while tellin' me lies
Then one night she walked through that door (that door)
and I felt somethin' I ain't felt before
Heart skipped beats, whole room stood still (stood still)
like God himself whispered "this one real"
I tried to act cool but my soul already knew (already knew)
everything I'd survived led me to you
And every conversation healed a little pain (little pain)
every laugh brought sunlight through the rain
Now I catch myself smilin' for no reason at all (at all)
still amazed somebody caught my fall

(Chorus 2)
Happy tears runnin' down my face tonight (tonight)
cause somebody finally love me right
All them years I spent feelin' alone (alone)
now her arms finally feel like home
Puff puff passsssss... let the memories fade (fade away)
she helpin' me heal from yesterday
And every broken piece inside my soul (inside me)
finally feel like it's becoming whole

(Verse 2)
She don't just love me, she understands my scars (my scars)
all them county years and emotional wars
The overdoses, heartbreak, nights I almost died (almost died)
she don't judge what's hidden inside
Instead she grabs my hand when anxiety starts (holds me close)
helps me quiet the chaos inside my heart
And her daughter got me feelin' things again (again)
parts of me I thought were dead within
The way she smiles, the way she laughs out loud (laugh out loud)
somehow make my darkest clouds break down
I forgot what family was supposed to feel like (feel like)
forgot warmth could exist in my life
Now I look forward to tomorrow instead (instead)
ain't spendin' every night trapped in my head

(Chorus 3)
For the first time trauma ain't all I see (all I see)
for the first time peace feel real to me
Happy tears fall every now and then (every now and then)
cause I never thought I'd feel this again
Puff puff passsssss... but I need less now (less now)
she got me breathin' easier somehow
And every day she stay by my side (my side)
bring a little more life back inside

(Verse 3)
I remember sittin' outside starin' at stars (starin')
wonderin' if life would ever get this far
Back then I was broken, angry and lost (so lost)
payin' for trauma at a terrible cost
Now we sit together while the rain fall slow (rainfall)
talkin' about places we wanna go
No games, no masks, no hidden lies (no lies)
just honesty lookin' through her eyes
That's somethin' new for somebody like me (like me)
spent years drownin' in insecurity
Every hug feel like a piece of my past heal (past heal)
every kiss remind me this is real
And when her daughter calls my name and smiles (smiles)
it makes every hard road feel worthwhile

(Chorus 4)
Happy tears, who would've thought I'd see the day? (the day)
when pain don't control everything
Puff puff passsssss... let the smoke ride free (ride free)
ain't no longer got a hold on me
Cause love stronger than the hurt I've known (I've known)
stronger than every road I've roamed
And every night I thank God above (thank God)
for finally showin' me real love

(Verse 4)
Sometimes I still wake up scared she'll disappear (disappear)
cause abandonment lived with me for years
But she keeps showin' up every single day (every day)
and slowly teachin' me it's okay
Okay to trust, okay to believe (believe again)
okay to finally let myself breathe
The little boy locked in closets long ago (long ago)
finally got somewhere safe to go
The man who spent years self-destructin' his life (his life)
finally found peace instead of strife
And every road, every scar, every painful year (every year)
somehow led me here
Now when tears fall, they ain't from fear no more (no more)
they from gratitude pourin' from my core
Cause after forty years of fightin' through the rain (through the rain)
she gave my heart a chance to love again

(Outro)
I used to cry because people left...
because people lied...
because people hurt me...

Now I cry because somebody stayed...

Because somebody looked at all the damage...
all the scars...
all the mistakes...

And loved me anyway...

Happy tears...
I never thought I'd live long enough to know what they felt like...

But now I do...
And I wouldn't trade that feeling for the world... (yeah...)
