Happy

How do you measure your happiness?

I guess I can never say I know how to measure mine - I thought I knew... and it was so clear before....

But now....?

Happiness is not as clear-cut as it once seemed.

Perhaps it never was. But somehow, only pain can teach you this.

It's when you have been hurt the most, then only you can ever know how or even what it really feels like.

And yes, it sucks.



Happy - Leona Lewis

(from the 2009 album "Echo")

Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can't have everything

Don't you take chances
You might feel the pain (more...)
Don't you love in vain
'cause love won't set you free

I can't stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be

So what if it hurts me?
So what it I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge,
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
I'm just trying to be happy
I just wanna be happy, yeah

Holding on tightly
just can't let go
just trying to play my role
slowly disappear

But all these days
They feel like they're the same
Just different faces
different place
Get me out of here

I can't stand by the side
Ooh, no
And watch this life pass me by
Pass me by

So what if it hurts me?
So what if i break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
my feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
don't care about all the pain in front of me
I'm just trying to be happy

Oh, happy
Oh

So any turns that I cant see
I'll count a stranger on this road
But dont say victim
Don't say anything

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
I just wanna be happy
Happy
I just wanna be
Oh
I just wanna be
Happy (less)
