Happy Now lyrics

[Verse 1]

What would you say to me

If I told you I had a dream

If I told you everything

Would you tell me to go back to sleep?

[Verse 2]

Take a look at these tired eyes,

They're coming back to life.

I know I can change,

' Got hope in my veins.

I'm telling you I ain't going back to the pain.

[Pre-Chorus]

Can I be happy now?

Can I let my breath out?

Let me believe, I'm building a dream.

Don't try to drag me down.

[Chorus]

I just wanna scream out loud:

Can I be happy now?

' been down on my knees,

I learned how to bleed.

I'm turning my world around.

[Post-Chorus/Bridge]

Can I be happy now?

Can I break free somehow?

I just wanna live again, love again.

Pick my pride up off of the ground.

[Verse 3]

I'm ready to pick a fight.

' crawl out of the dark to shine a light.

I ain't throwing stones.

' got sins of my own.

Ain't everbody just trying to find a way home?

[Pre-chorus + Chorus]

[Bridge]

You're born and you die

And it's gone in a minute.

I ain't looking back

' cause I don't wanna miss it.

You'd better live now

'cause no one's going to get out alive, alive!

[Pre-chorus + Chorus]

[OUTRO]

Can I be happy now?

Ohhhh

I'm turning my world around.

Can I be happy now?
