lyrics

I'm trying to write a happy song
So you won't think I'm depressed
But trying to write a happy song
Got me feeling like a mess

Everyone’s selling happiness
As the way I ought to be
The only thing I want to buy is
Live my life according to me

So live hard and die fast
These feelings will pass
As the days grow short
And the nights grow long
I'll sing my happy song

Now those preachers are telling us
We’ve got to love ourselves
Cause if you don't like what's in the mirror
How can you love anyone else?

So we try to love ourselves
But the guilt, it weighs us down
Worrying what people think
Wearing a smile, feeling a frown

So live hard and die fast
These feelings will pass
As the days grow short
And the nights grow long
I'll sing my happy song

The candle burns fast
And the wax will soon be gone
And you won't worry about my happiness
Or trying to sing my song

I'm gonna write what I want
And do what I do
Cuz’ when they're done with happiness
They'll be selling something new

So live hard and die fast
These feelings will pass
As the days grow short
And the nights grow long
I'll sing my happy song

So live hard and die fast
Cuz all your feelings, they pass
As those days grow short
And those nights grow long
Just sing your happy song

Most of my songs are autobiographical in nature but I have also begun to find imaginary personas, enabling me to share feelings, thoughts, and ideas that I can imagine but have not yet experienced. ... more
