Flaherty Brotherhood - Never Known Happiness Lyrics

Never known happiness
So That's what they say
Never cracked a smile
Not even for a day
I've heard all the stories
But they all sound like a lie
Never known happiness
Just trying to get by

Walking through these days
With a heart too numb to break
Looking for something real
But it's all just a fake
A soul that's been dragging
Through nights that never end
Never known happiness
Just the loss of a friend

They talk about the light
That dances in your eyes
Of a joy so clean and bright
But I've never seen the sky
In this broken world
That light's never shone
Never known happiness
Just learning to be alone

Walking through these days
With a heart too numb to break
Looking for something real
But it's all just a fake
A soul that's been dragging
Through nights that never end
Never known happiness
Just the loss of a friend

Is it just a fading dream
A whisper on the wind
Or something I can't hold
A love I'll never win
I've searched every corner
Of a life that's torn in two
Never known happiness
Since I last thought of you

But still I keep on moving
With the hope that won't let go
That one day I'll find it
And finally let it show
Until then I'll keep on
Through this gray and endless stare
Never known happiness
But maybe it's out there somewhere
