Why can't I be happy?
Is it because i don't know what i want?
I don't know if i want to be alone or in a crowd.
I don't know if i want to be in quite or where it is loud.  

Is it because i don't know where i want to be?
I don't know if i want to be with you or with someone new.
I don't know if i want to be in a club or in a church pew.

Is it because i don't know what it is like to be me?
I don't know what i like, who i want, or where i would like to be.

So, how can i be happy if i don't know myself?
Or even have thoughts of ending myself?

I assume that i cannot be happy.
Maybe this is me.
