Lyrics

The truth can hurt you
Or the truth can change you
What would truth do to you?
I just wanna be happy
But if I keep on doing the things
That keep on bringing me pain
There's no one else I can blame
If I'm not happy
Wasted time, but now I can see
The biggest enemy, it was me
So I'm not happy
Cry yourself to sleep
Shout and raise your hands
It won't change a thing, child
Until you understand
If you're tired of being the same
If you're tired of things not changing
It's time for you to get out the way
Don't get stuck in how you feel
Say, "Jesus, take the wheel"
He knows the road that you need to take
But it only works if
If you wanna be happy
Look at yourself and say
Don't you wanna be happy? (Yeah)
I just wanna be happy
But if I keep on giving my heart
For people to tear apart
The healing will never start
So I can be happy (Yes, Lord)
Will I ever be happy?
Cry yourself to sleep
Shout and raise your hands
It won't change a thing, child
Until you understand
If I'm talking to you, you can say
If you're tired of being the same
If you're tired of things not changing
It's time for you to get out the way
You been there too long
Don't get stuck in how you feel
Say, "Jesus, take the wheel"
He knows the road that you need to take
I feel this one right here
It's so easy to complain
Addicted to the pain (Yes!)
You give your heart, they push it away
But I got good news for ya
Jesus knows just how you feel
Just let Him take the wheel (Hallelujah)
The love you need, He already gave
But the question is
Do you wanna be happy?
If you're tired of you, then say
I just wanna be happy
Now, if you really mean that, open up your heart and say it
Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If you're tired of going in circles
Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
Tired of making the same mistakes
Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
But now's your chance
Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Say yeah)
If you're tired of being the same
If you're tired of things not changing
It's time for you to get out the way
Are you ready, come on
Don't get stuck in how you feel
Say, "Jesus, take the wheel"
What you doin'?
He knows the road that you need to take
It's so easy to complain
It's so easy to complain (Come on)
Addicted to the pain (Yeah)
You give your heart, they push it away
There's somebody that'll never leave ya
Jesus knows just how you feel (Yes)
Just let Him take the wheel
The love you need, He already gave
But the question is
Do you wanna be happy?
Took a long time, but I'm ready
I just wanna be happy
Thank you, Lord, every day ask yourself
Do you wanna be happy?
Yes, pull over, let Him drive
I just wanna be happy
