Happy hurts sometimes, Oh
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh
I've been getting better
At slowly getting worse, oh
What's wrong with me
When happy hurts?
Happy hurts

This on again off again
Temperamental affection
For my darling depression
Is making me go mad
I hear there's a fine line
Between crazy and sad
But I can't tell a difference up close
There's a lot of us, you know?
Ill and un-diagnosed
But I don't need a piece of paper
To tell me what I already know
I'm not alright for tonight
Can we let that be alright?
Pick up the battle again
In the morning light

And I'm fighting so hard
To come out of the dark
Trying to turn off the night
Finally let in the light
Trying to make my misery
Just a piece of my history
A little less victim
A little more victory

Happy hurts sometimes, Oh
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh
I've been getting better
At slowly getting worse, oh
What's wrong with me
When happy hurts?
Happy hurts

Today I feel okay
Guess it was all just in my head
I just need to try harder I guess
Yeah everyone else in the world
Seems to be doing alright
"Yeah I'm alright" for tonight
Can we let the pain
And the happy mix?
Can the two coexist?
The beauty next to the mess?
Because I swear I have them both
Already beating in my chest
If that makes me crazy
The numbers don't lie
But I don't call that crazy
I call that being alive

And I'm fighting so hard
To come out of the dark
Trying to turn off the night
Finally let in the light
Trying to make my misery
Just a piece of my history
A little less victim
Please

Happy hurts sometimes, Oh
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh
I've been getting better
At slowly getting worse, oh
What's wrong with me
When happy hurts?
Happy hurts

If I had to pick
Between the way that I am
And the way that everybody else
Seems to pretend
I wouldn't consider it
Not for even a second
Between psycho and sanity
It's not even a question
My favorite part of my self
Seems to make the least sense
All the cracks in my skin
They just let the light in
My favorite part of my self
Make the least sense
All the cracks in my skin
Let the light in

Happy hurts sometimes, oh
All I want is the one thing
I can't find
I've been getting better
At slowly getting worse, oh
What's wrong with me
When happy hurts?
What's wrong with me
When happy hurts?
I've been getting better
At slowly getting worse, oh
What's wrong with me
When happy hurts?
Happy hurts
