Happy thoughts, happy thoughts
All I have is happy thoughts
Look at me, there's nothing wrong
While I keep singing this song

But when I stop and look around
My house is burning to the ground
It can't be stoped, I've lost control
I've dug myself a deep deep hole

Oh did you say you have a task
Just wait while I put on my mask
I'll do it gladly, it's not hard
I definitely won't get scarred

I stop to think, I have no time
I'm stressed, this hole I cannot climb
I'll fail again, that's all I do
I am ashamed to talk to You...

Great people say "if you believe
There's nothing you cannot achieve"
So I believe, I will go on
I will not stop singing this song!

So that's the problem, you're the one
Who brought upon me all that's done
It's you, who put on me this mask
Of joy of which I did not ask

What do you mean, it's all my fault?
Within my life you are the salt!
Everything's wrong, that's all you say
I want to be happy, ok?

You want to be happy? That's great
I want that happiness too, mate!
But we can't lie and hide the pain
Through this there's nothing we will gain.

Wait, are you saying if we take off
This mask, the pain will just run off?
But we'll be weak without our mask
It's dangerous, we'll fail this task.

It's risky, yes, I do agree
But it's the only way, you see
We have to open up our heart
That's how the happiness will start.
