Be Happier

"It gets better" they keep repeating over and over
Just change your frame of mind, and you’ll be fine
"You know it could be worse" says the devil sat on my shoulder
If I don’t lose my mind I’ll be alright

But I wish that you understood
Some words do no good
And it’s hard when you can’t relate
Cuz you can’t feel the weight

When you say every day's a blessing
And you fail to see a reason why I’m stressing out
So can I let you know?

You say that everything is temporary
This just feels unnecessary in your eyes
And all you wanna know
Is why I can't be happier, happier

Theres a wave of guilt and it hits when I’m thinking over
All the good I have that feels unearned
It’s not that I’m ungrateful or that I want something better
All I really want is to be heard

And I wish that you understood
Some words do no good
And I hate that I’d rather lie
Than say what’s on my mind

When you say every day's a blessing
And you fail to see a reason why I’m stressing out
So can I let you know

You say that everything is temporary
This just feels unnecessary in your eyes
And all you wanna know
Is why I can't be happier, happier

Be happier
Happier, happier
Be happier
Happier, happier

Maybe I don’t have the answer, but I wish I didn’t have to try to
Justify the things i can’t control
Like why I can’t be
