Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to write a new song every day
Easy to figure out what to say
My mind poured out on to the page
Youthful fear and doubt to fuel the rage
Nobody wants to hear how great
Everything around me is today
An occasional gray cloud dissipates
That’s about the extent of my rainy days

[Chorus]
My true measure of happiness
My kind of success
A true measure of happiness		
Not confused by success

[Verse 2]
The peak of my happiness you bring
But it leaves me only old songs to sing 	
I wouldn’t dream of changing one thing
Since the day you and I came to wear our rings

[Chorus]
My true measure of happiness
My kind of success
A true measure of happiness		
Not confused by success

[Break]
And why does pain bring inspiration?	
And why does it require confrontation?
Feeling elation with stable relations
Should be the source of prolific creation

[Verse 3]
Looking back on how I used to write
Was always based on love unrequited
It’s hard to even remember what that was like
For what we have now I am delighted

[Chorus]
My true measure of happiness
Stocks and bonds don't impress
A new measure of respect		
Not confused by success

My true measure of happiness		
My kind of success
A true measure of happiness
From inside, forget the rest

[Chorus]
My true measure of happiness		
Not monetary success
A new measure of respect
It’s my kind of success
