Happy Lyrics

this song hits a cord with me. i can't be in a relationship.. any type of relationship.. because quite frankly, i don't trust people easily. i've built myself in a way that has allowed me to live safely and distantly. i'm in my mid-late twenties now, and i'm beginning to realize that i'm becoming someone who is unhappy with life. I do want to be happy, but as she says in this song, it's going to take a lot of risks which for someone like me.. is rare, uncommon and very.. scary.

holding on tightly, i just can't let it go just trying to play my role, just slowly disappear all these days, i feel like they're the same just different faces, different names, get me out of here

failure to connect with anyone leaves you looking at everyone and everything as the same, but with just different faces or names. and without connection, you feel like you're going to just disappear.. but maybe you feel you just have to continue playing your role.. and stay away from the risks and changes that can possibly bring happiness to your life.

i don't want to blame this on being a victim of my past or how i was raised.. or what i went through when i was a child, although i know it all plays a big role in why i am the way i am. but at the end of every day, i want to be happy.. but i haven't been able to figure out if it's worth the risk.

Somehow, I can relate to your experience. It's hard for me to trust people even my closet friends. I know that I have to break the walls to take risks and sometimes to get hurt, that way I'll learn about life and I'm trying it now. I really like this song and thanks to your comment I get a better understanding about it.

@dewaff you just described me....that is exactly how I feel now.
