By the Way Songtext

happiness isn't happiness at all when it's based on bullshit
survival real, confidence suggests that we were different
we weren't
the words you wrote about your father, they fit you so well now
so self assumed, so ignorant, so sure of why and how
you're visible
the sides they took, the reasons why, the way i know you're fucking him
i'm glad to know that all along you saw me as a problem
at least i'm something
the smell i used to love so much, the sound of quiet rest
