Life, Love: Paradoxically

laughing i can barely see through my tears 
laughing i can barely see how i've been torn 

joyously enjoying life i never want to leave here
joyously enjoying life not longer torment do i have to hear

with this hand in mine i can finally tie the knot 
with this hand in mine i feel no longer like naught

wanting to gain her affection i offer her this rose 
wanting to gain her affection from my seat i rose
