Oh, honey
Look at you
Looking for happiness
In the loud music
Blasting like a thunder
Across the party house
In the crowds of people
Who throw smiles and compliments
For nothing but a show
In the chortles of friends
Who laugh at each other's back
Because I'm looking at you
Turning into a mess

Oh honey
Look around
You don't need these people
You don't need the noise
To live a happy life
Have you ever tried
To walk your way
Just to get lost
Have you ever tried
Resting your ears
Inside these empty walls
Just for once, try
Finding happiness in the quiet
Listening to your own heart
Talking aloud
