Lyrics

You know sometimes
I just get sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
I feel like I'm constantly
Going through
These temporary highs
And I just don't know how much
More I can truly take like
It's getting old
Man something has got to change
Something has got to change
I don't want to close my eyes
And come to find
That time didn't rewind
It only slipped away from me
Don't want to be caught up
In the crazy maze of hate
Mad at the world
Instead of giving
All I do is take
Can't let my problems
And my pain
Try and stop me
No more pleasing the world
I learned the world will still
Talk about me
Still talk about me
Said one thing for certain
For a person
Who's been hurting
They long for love
I was hoping and wishing
That he would change my position
I just rather be happy
Rather be happy
I'd rather smile
I just rather be happy
Rather be happy
And wear my crown
But my
My my my
My my my my my
Said It ain't easy
It gets hard
But I know joy will come again
Come again
But I must admit
Sometimes I don't feel like talking
Sometimes I don't wanna be bothered
Last time I turned on this board
I was broken hearted
I said I'd never play again
Well, welcome to the circles in my head
Yes I've cried and cried
And I've tried and tried
But the little girl inside
Said don't let the dream die
Sometimes you gotta be alone
Knock knock on the door
Say nobody's home
Gotta keep it going
Right till you get it on
Gotta leave them fake
Friends there alone
I just rather be happy
Rather be happy
I'd rather smile
Said I rather smile
I just rather be happy
Rather be happy
And wear my crown
But my
My my my
My my my my my
My my my
It ain't easy
It gets hard
But I know joy will come again
Come again
But I must admit
I rather be
I wanna be
I need to see
A better me
And It's up to me
On my momma and my daddy yes
I'm gonna be
I gotta be
Said just for me
I rather be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be happy
