lyrics

I wake up, I look outside
Nothing’s going to change my mind
I’m going to be happy for my whole life
I make a list of things to do
And then I just don’t follow through
I want to be happy
I guess I’m alright
Then the phone rings and it’s more bad news
I try to think of something I could do
Fold my clothes, walk around
Yell at my guitar: “Would you just make some sound?”
Yeah I’m happy
But I might be out of my mind.
Put on my shoes, and grab my coat
But there’s nowhere left that I can go
Now it’s happening and I’m not alright
Then the phone rings and it’s more bad news
Try to think of something that I could do
Is it my frame of mind, is it my point of view
I can’t feel anything, there’s nothing I can do
I sit back down, I stand back
By now, you’ve probably heard enough
I want to be happy
I swear I tried
I want to be happy
For the rest of life
Maybe I’ll never be happy
Even if I try
