Brandi Carlile – Happy
“Happy” lyrics by Brandi Carlile
I don’t hang around that place no more
I’m tired of wearing circles in the floor
And I don’t carry myself very well
I’ve gotten so much braver
Can you tell?
I’m happy
Can’t you see?
I’m alright
But I miss you Amber Lee
And I line my secrets up all one by one
I put ‘em all away when I was done
And I would really love to hear your voice sometime
To close a little distance in my mind
I’m happy
Can’t you see?
I’m alright
But I miss you Amber Lee
Amber Lee
Where have you been all these years?
And how could you just disappear?
And when did you stop
Missing me?
I’m happy
Can’t you see?
I’m alright
But I miss you Amber Lee
I’m alright
But I miss you Amber Lee

Funny thing… I’m friends with Brandi and I laugh at this song stirring up speculation because in truth there is no one named ‘Amber Lee’. In fact, when Brandi started singing this song years and years ago (this is actually quite an old song of hers), there wasn’t really a set lyric for the end of the chorus and she’d change it up – usually singing “i miss you Abilene” (like the city in texas). And sometimes we’d tease her and sing over her “i miss you Emily” because she loved the Indigo Girls so much and one of them is named Emily. So yeah, if you’re looking for clues to Brandi’s sexuality, this is not the path to follow.
sorry kids.
Funny how everytime I read one of these one of the artists “friends” just so happens to drop in to say something lol right
