Happiness

(Verse 1)

I'm happy once again
Right?
Can smile once again
Right?

Resolved, completed
Everything's fine
I can show myself now
No more need to hide

(Chorus 1)

I thought my sanity came back
Thought I could be normal like before
Before I fell and hit the ground
Before I got up off the floor

So ignorant and innocent
Now all I am is fragile
More likely to break another time
More prone to be unraveled

(Verse 2)

I'm happy once again
Right?
Can smile once again
Right?

Wrong, my life will never be
Perfect like it felt before
Once you fall, you can't get up
Yet you try more and more

(Chorus 1)

I thought my sanity came back
Thought I could be normal like before
Before I fell and hit the ground
Before I got up off the floor

So ignorant and innocent
Now all I am is fragile
More likely to break another time
More prone to be unraveled

(Bridge)

Happiness seems like a lie
I've started and stopped asking why
My smile is fake, and so am I
So why shouldn't I just die?

(Chorus 2)

For reasons no one can explain
We strive to be happy in this life
A lack of joy isn't worth the death
But death is at the highest price

Keep striving, finding worth in you
Find real things that make you smile
Capture those things and hold them close
Make the small happinesses worthwhile

Of course "happinesses" is a word. Okay, it's not. But I made it a noun. You're welcome. (Wait... Happiness is a noun.)
