about
The debut single from Happiless: the long distance musical love child of Allen Keller and Mike Benign.
lyrics
Don’t you realize you’re not worth anything at all
Everyone was right and you’ll never mean a thing
I would wish you well but what’s the point when after all
Everybody knows you’ll never mean a thing
Lie down, Sleepyhead, you’ve earned a little rest
If you don’t awake again, it’s probably for the best
You could tell them off but they’d just turn and laugh at you
Then tomorrow you’d have to say, you didn’t mean a thing
And all the loves you lost that you believed were so true
Must convince yourself they didn’t mean a thing
Lie down, Sleepyhead, you’ve earned a little rest
If you don’t awake again, it’s probably for the best
If you pray the Lord your soul to take
Remember that He’s caught your act already
Uh huh
