Sunlight creeps in between the curtains The world outside is burning with fire I’m terrified, all the while, I’m certain That the need for happiness is dire What if I get what I’ve always wanted? What if it’s not what I thought it was? The thought of it leaves me feeling haunted Happiness is the only hope for us Sunlight creeps in between the curtains The world outside is burning with fire My sadness is like a beast of burden It weighs me down and makes me tired Happiness will have to wait again Happiness was never part of the plan

Happiness Is
Sunlight creeps in between the curtains The world outside is burning with fire I’m terrified, all the while, I’m certain That the need for happiness is dire What if I get what I’ve always wanted? What if it’s not what I thought it was? The thought of it leaves me feeling haunted Happiness is the only hope for us Sunlight creeps in between the curtains The world outside is burning with fire My sadness is like a beast of burden It weighs me down and makes me tired Happiness will have to wait again Happiness was never part of the plan
