Happy hurts sometimes, oh

Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh

I've been getting better at slowly getting worse, oh

What's wrong with me when happy hurts?

Happy hurts

This on again, off again tempermental affection

For my darling depression is making me go mad

I hear there's a fine line between crazy and sad

But I can't tell the difference up close

There's a lot of us you know ill and undiagnosed

But I don't need a piece of paper to tell me what I already know

I'm not alright, for tonight, can we let that be alright?

Pick up the battle again in the morning light

And I'm fighting so hard to come out of the dark

Trying to turn off the night, finally let in the light

Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history

A little less victim, a little more victory

Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh

Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh

I keep getting better at slowly getting worse, oh

What's wrong with me when happy hurts?

Happy hurts

Today I feel okay guess it was all just in my head

I just need to try harder I guess

Yeah everyone else in the world seems to be doing alright

Yeah, I'm alright for tonight

Can we let the pain and the happy mix

Can the two coexist? The beauty next to the mess

Because I swear I have them both already beating in my chest

If that makes me crazy the numbers don't lie

But I don't call that crazy I call it being alive

And I'm fighting so hard to come out of the dark

Trying to turn off the night, finally let in the light

Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history

A little less victim, please

Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh

Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh

I keep getting better at slowly getting worse, oh

What's wrong with me when happy hurts?

Happy hurts

If I had to pick between the way that I am

And the way that everybody else seems to pretend

I wouldn't consider it, not for even a second

Between psycho and sanity, it's not even a question

My favorite parts of myself seem to make the least sense,

All the cracks in my skin they just let the light in

My favorite parts of myself make the least sense

All the cracks in my skin let the light in

Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh

All I want is the one thing I can't find

I keep getting better at slowly getting worse, oh

What's wrong with me when happy hurts?

What's wrong with me when happy hurts?

I keep getting better at slowly getting worse, oh

What's wrong with me when happy hurts?

Happy hurts
