Lyrics

(I should be happy, but I'm not)

[Instrumental]

I spent my whole life dreaming up

Some perfect world, but now I'm stuck

These words I sing for the ones I love

Draw a line that define the best in us

With every note and every page

I'm cleaning up each mess I make

Is there some way for me to prove that

I won't bring out the worst in you?

[PreChorus]

Can anyone else relate?

[Chorus]

I should be happy, but I'm not

Is there a way to make it stop?

It won't go away

It keeps haunting me

As colors fade, I start to change

I only have myself to blame 'cause

I should be happy, but I'm not

Can anyone else relate?

[Verse 1]

I saw the light when I was young

I always knew that I would be someone

But I fall short and I fuck things up

And now I'm paying for all these things I've done

I can't escape the feeling

Now I'm staring at the ceiling while I waste away

Could be better off alone

Might be better on my own

But I know I'm not okay 'cause

[Chorus]

I should be happy, but I'm not

Is there a way to make it stop?

It won't go away

It keeps haunting me

As colors fade, I start to change

I only have myself to blame 'cause

I should be happy, but I'm not

Can anyone else relate?

[PostChorus]

Can't escape the feeling

Now I'm staring at the ceiling while I waste away

Might be better off alone, I'd be better on my own

But no, I'm not okay

I'm not okay

[Instrumental]

As colors fade, I start to change

I only have myself to blame

As colors fade, I start to change

I only have myself to blame

[PreChorus]

I should be happy, but I'm not

Is there a way to make it stop?

(Just make it stop)

[Chorus]

I should be happy, but I'm not

Is there a way to make it stop?

It won't go away, it keeps haunting me

As colors fade, I start to change

I only have myself to blame 'cause

I should be happy, but I'm not

I should be happy, but I'm not

[Outro]

So kill the pain and make it stop

Can anyone else relate?

Can anyone else relate?

Can anyone else relate?

Just make it stop
