Why Can’t I Just Be Happy?

[Verse 1]
Misread a dose
Of prednisone
Cried so hard
I couldn’t stand
Felt the rage
And let it linger
Long enough to
Break my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Ahh
Maybe this is who I am
Ahh

[Refrain]
I’m too old to be feeling like this
Too young for a midlife crisis
I’m somewhere in the middle
And I’m feeling
Feeling alone as ever, is anyone really out there?

[Chorus]
Why can’t
Why can’t I just be happy?
Did I, did I do something wrong?
Why’s everybody staring at me?
I think I’ve been awake too long
Why can’t
Why can’t I just be happy?
Did I, did I do something wrong?
Why’s everybody staring at me?
I think I’ve been awake too long

[Post-Chorus]
For way too long

[Verse 2]
Misread the room
And killed the mood
And just like that I’m walking home
I guess my friends got better shit to do
Than call me back cuz

[Refrain]
I’m too old to be feeling like this
Too young for a midlife crisis
I’m somewhere in the middle
And I’m feeling
Feeling alone as ever, is anyone really out there?

[Chorus]
Why can’t
Why can’t I just be happy?
Did I, did I do something wrong?
Why’s everybody staring at me?
I think I’ve been awake too long
Why can’t
Why can’t I just be happy?
Did I, did I do something wrong?
Why’s everybody staring at me?
I think I’ve been awake too long

[Post-Chorus]
For way too long

[Bridge]
I’m too old to be feeling like this
Too young for a midlife crisis
I’m somewhere in the middle
I’m too old to be feeling like this
Too young for a midlife crisis
I’m somewhere in the middle
And I’m feeling
Feeling alone as ever, is anyone really out there?

[Chorus]
Why can’t
Why can’t I just be happy?
Did I, did I do something wrong?
Why’s everybody staring at me?
I think I’ve been awake too long
Why can’t
Why can’t I just be happy?
Did I, did I do something wrong?
Why’s everybody staring at me?
I think I’ve been awake too long

[Post-Chorus]
For way too long
