I was afraid I was a martyr
Drying to be a perfect daughter
As I tried to stay true
Hiding away pieces of me always
Hurting myself, saving my face every time
I stayed true

I wish with every bone in my body
You really cared about me
I'm still here
And you were nothing more than what you ever gave
But I hope you're happy

The moments slip through my hands
The years reduced into sand
Did you know when it all began?
To love is to understand
That I was part of the plan
If you knew, would you take it back?
(But I hope you're happy)

I'll wipe all the tears that I have shed
And put on a smile to play pretend
In secret, I'll mend the damage close to my chest

And I wish with every bone in my body
You really cared about me but I'm still here
And you are nothing more than what you ever gave
I hope you're happy

The moments slip through my hands
The years reduced into sand
Did you know when it all began?
To love is to understand
That I was part of the plan
If you knew, would you take it back?

I never wanted more than an open door
And an open heart I'll keep holding on
I did nothing wrong
I only wanted love
Because I am enough
But I hope you're happy
(I hope you're happy)

The moments slip through my hands
The years reduced into sand
Did you know when it all began?
The moments slip through my hands
The years reduced into sand
Did you know when it all began?
To love is to understand
That I was part of the plan
If you knew, would you take it back?
