Verse 1:
They only see the highlights, calculated high life
Never sleepless hours, up until the sunrise
Tryna make you happy
But you’re better off without me
Verse 2:
It gets a little lonely, white noise drones around me
Sometimes inhibitions are the only things in company
No-one understands me
Are you here to save me
Chorus:
Cause It’s hard to be fake happy
When all you feel is shame
I’m scared to be real happy
When I’m everyone’s in pain
Do you feel what I feel on the daily
Is it real? Is it real? Can you help me
How do I, How do i
Fill the void inside my mind
Verse 3:
I hate short conversations, miscommunication
Sometimes when I’m lonely I dissect the implications
Need someone to hold me
Someone who’ll understand me
Verse 4:
These higher expectations, they come with complications
I don’t want to be someone who screams out of frustration
Reignite my senses, I’m tryna find the balance
Chorus:
Cause It’s hard to be fake happy
When all you feel is shame
I’m scared to be real happy
When i’m everyone’s in pain
Do you feel what I feel on the daily
Is it real? Is it real? Can you help me
How do i, How do i
Fill the void inside my mind
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
Bridge:
Light a candle in a storm
Tryna keep my body warm
I just need someone to hold
Cause nothing ever feels like home
Light a candle in a storm
Tryna keep my body warm
I just need someone to hold
Cause nothing ever feels like home
Do you feel what I feel on the daily
Is it real? Is it real? Can you help me
How do I, How do i
Fill the void inside my mind
If there's light at the end of the tunnel
Show a hand lead me through all these troubles
How do I, How do I
Fill the void inside my mind
Post- Chorus:
Cause the bigger you get the harder you fall
This sea of regret is near overflow
The bigger you get the harder you fall
The more that you know, is the more that you’ll grow
Chorus:
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
