Let's Sing A Happy Song
Who can pinpoint the source of pain?
Of course my tears are real.
It may not ever be what you want
But this is what I feel.
I would feel joy if I saw a reason
But I'll die searching in this place.
I can't see past their snarling mouths
As they fall from grace.
Whoever said I should enjoy youth?
It's the other youth who bring me down.
Who can blame me for loathing it?
I'm not allowed to make a sound.
It always hits me harder, obviously
Don't bother to say 'smile.'
By the look on my 'miserable' face
I haven't for a while.
I am not depressing, I'm honest
I'm not hiding my true feelings with a grin.
You may look happy but really you're dying
Deep inside, within.
You hide your hurt but I refuse to stand
Acting like I'm glad to be here with you.
I'm not going to lie, I'm unhappy
But as least I know what to do.
I will not hide my disappointment
Pessimism is a part.
Of my long-gone beatless ghost
Pathetic excuse of a heart.
So I won't cheer up today, I think
For to cheer for, there is what?
Is there some hidden hope lying there?
Some happiness I forgot?
I won't smile when all I see
Are reasons not to smile for.
I doubt I'll gain a sense of humor
Through just wanting more.
Let's join hands and grin, you say
Let's sing a happy song.
Hide your hurt because it shames us all
If you're upset, you're wrong.
Of course my tears are real.
It may not ever be what you want
But this is what I feel.
I would feel joy if I saw a reason
But I'll die searching in this place.
I can't see past their snarling mouths
As they fall from grace.
Whoever said I should enjoy youth?
It's the other youth who bring me down.
Who can blame me for loathing it?
I'm not allowed to make a sound.
It always hits me harder, obviously
Don't bother to say 'smile.'
By the look on my 'miserable' face

I'm not hiding my true feelings with a grin.
You may look happy but really you're dying
Deep inside, within.
You hide your hurt but I refuse to stand
Acting like I'm glad to be here with you.
I'm not going to lie, I'm unhappy
But as least I know what to do.
