I don't open up
I don't even cry
not to myself
not to anyone
for I'm the happy one

I don't let it out
I just keep it in
my problems all alone
not to anyone
for I'm the happy one

surrounded in a crowd
a sea of people
and yet I can't even frown
surrounded in a crowd
a sea of "friendship"
but what happens if I fall down

I'm the happy one
but it ain't so easy
this tense relationship between the universe and me
happiness is a funny word
it used to come so naturally
but now I'm falling farther apart
and I'm falling farther from earth
and I'm falling closer to the dark
away from the light
happiness is such a funny little word

I can't be weak
I must be strong
must keep my friends going on
can't open up
can't shed a tear
not to anyone
for I'm the happy one

problems only on my shoulders
alone must i bear this pain
for to tell would distrupt
the social order
and chaos would ins
how selfish of me
this would be

surrounded in a crowd
a sea of people
and yet I can't even frown
surrounded in a crowd
a sea of "friendship"
but what happens if i fall down
what happens if i fall down
and there goes the crown

I'm the happy one
but it ain't so easy
this tense relationship between the universe and me
happiness is a funny word
it used to come so naturally
but now I'm falling further apart
and I'm falling farther from the earth
and I'm falling closer to the dark
away from the light
happiness is such a funny little word

what happened to the days of simplicity
of joyful mediocrity
now to be great
a smile plastered on your face
you must find your place
in the human race
at one thing you're allowed to be great
always smiling
always laughing
never failing
never frowning
always there to lift up others when they fall
but what about me
I swear I'm not as perfect as you think
I smile for you
don't you know
I smile to make you happy
because honestly you deserve it
and me smiling makes you happy
so for you its worth it

cause….
I'm the happy one
but it ain't so easy
this tense relationship between the universe and me
happiness is a funny word
it used to come so naturally
but now I'm falling further apart
but now I'm falling farther from the earth
and I'm falling closer to the dark
away from the light
happiness is such a funny little word

happiness is such a funny little word
to be happy would be grand
to be happy would be grand
to be happy would make me happy
happiness is such a funny little word
