I Want to Be Happy Demo

from There Is Only Right Now Deluxe Digital by Billy the Kid

/

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, I walk around

Yell at my guitar: “would you just make some sound?”

Ya I’m happy. 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

And 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, even if I tried

Maybe I wouldn’t be happy, even if I tried
