Happiness Ain't A Gift

Happiness Ain't A Gift
I don't wanna be a disappointment
I don't wanna be something they didn't expect
I don't wanna do everything they want me to do
I wanna have self-respect

Chorus: And I just don't understand
Why things have to change
Everything was perfect
And now it's not that way

Chorus Cont.:
Have you ever cried yourself to sleep-
Because there's no one there to hold you?
Have you ever thought that just maybe-
Life ain't worth the pain you go through?
And everyone around you knows
That they will never forgive
Yes everyone around you knows
That happiness ain' t a gift (it ain't a gift…no-oh..it ain't a gift, yeah-ah)

I don't wanna live their dreams for them
I don't want them living vicariously.
I don't wanna do everything they want me to do
I wanna live my life for me.
(Chorus)
