[Verse 1]
I wake up, same old grey
Smile a lie, face the day
Everybody talks, nobody hears
I laugh it off, hide the tears

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to breathe, I try to care
But there’s poison in the air
I wanna scream, but what’s the use?
The world just tightens every noose

[Chorus]
I just wanna be happy
Is that too much to ask?
In a world this cruel and crappy
Where kindness wears a mask
I’m not asking for forever
Just a moment to be free
No more fake smiles to remember
I just wanna be happy

[Verse 2]
People lie, people leave
Take your heart, make you believe
Then they vanish, like a ghost
And I’m the one who hurts the most

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to hope, I try to trust
But everything turns into dust
They say it gets better with time
But that’s just another lie

[Chorus]
I just wanna be happy
Is that too much to ask?
In a world this cruel and crappy
Where kindness wears a mask
I’m not asking for forever
Just a moment to be free
No more fake smiles to remember
I just wanna be happy

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m broken
Maybe I’m wrong
But I’ve been holding on too long
To promises that never came
To faces that forgot my name

[Final Chorus]
I just wanna be happy
Is that so hard to find?
In a world that keeps on spinning
And leaving me behind
Not a fairy tale, not perfect
Just some peace inside of me
No more nights that feel like drowning
I just wanna be happy

[Outro]
Yeah...
I just wanna be happy...
