[Verse 1]
Maybe I'm just too damn selfish
I got a whole heap of wood in my eye
Mum said it's too much, too early
And I don't know if I'm wasting my time
And I don't wanna leave you with the responsibility to handle my insecurities
Nah-no no, that's not fair, yeah
Cos I don't wanna flee, it's not a crime scene
But the longer that I stay, it might kill me
Cos hurt people hurt people
And I'm feeling kinda hurt
So I don't want to hurt you
[Chorus]
I really want to be happy
But it feels so far away right now
I really want to be happy
But it feels so far away right now
[Rise]
I tried so hard to fight it
Didn't want to be persuaded
I tried so hard to fight it
But then it got complicated
[Verse 2]
Maybe I just don't understand long-suffering
But I'm turning into someone еlse
Carrying around your emotions ain't for me
So I think I need to lеave, get some time by myself
And I don't wanna leave you with the responsibility to handle my insecurities
Nah-no no, that's not fair, no no
Cos I don't wanna flee, it's not a crime scene
But the longer that I stay, it might kill me
Cos hurt people hurt people
And I'm feeling kinda hurt
So I don't want to hurt you
[Chorus]
I really want to be happy
But it feels so far away right now (I really want to be happy)
I really want to be happy (ohh)
But it feels so far away right now
[Chorus]
I really want to be happy
But it feels so far away right now
I really want to be happy
But it feels so far away right now
I really want to be happy
But it feels so far away right now
I really want to be happy
But it feels so far away right now
