I walk and I think I sit and I drink And wonder What is it like to be happy I wore my heart on my sleeve I hid deep away inside Yet each time it was wrenched By people By circumstance And by me For inside I feel empty Though I know my capacity for heart Though I know my capacity for life I may not always win But I seem to have forgotten the feeling But I’m not sure I always lose Because I see all around me And know unhappiness is fleeting But if so Then why do I still feel so hollow So alone, in a world where There is so much apparent happiness It seems Just around the corner

Innately Unhappy
I walk and I think I sit and I drink And wonder What is it like to be happy I wore my heart on my sleeve I hid deep away inside Yet each time it was wrenched By people By circumstance And by me For inside I feel empty Though I know my capacity for heart Though I know my capacity for life I may not always win But I seem to have forgotten the feeling But I’m not sure I always lose Because I see all around me And know unhappiness is fleeting But if so Then why do I still feel so hollow So alone, in a world where There is so much apparent happiness It seems Just around the corner
