Happy Now

what would you say to me
if I told you I had a dream
if I told you everything
would you tell me to go back to sleep
take a look in these tired eyes
they’re coming back to life
I know I can change
got hope in my veins
I’m telling you I ain’t going back to the pain
*can I be happy now
can I let my breath out
let me believe
I’m building a dream
don’t try to drag me down
I just want to scream out loud
can I be happy now
been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I’m turning my world around*
can I be happy now
can I break free somehow
I just want to live again
love again
pick my pride up off the ground
I’m ready to pick a fight
crawl out of the dark to shine a light
I ain’t throwing stones
got sins of my own
ain’t everybody just trying to find a way home
*can I be happy now
can I let my breath out
let me believe
I’m building a dream
don’t try to drag me down
I just want to scream out loud
can I be happy now
been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I’m turning my world around*
you’re born then you die
it’s all gone in a minute
I ain’t looking back
cause I don’t want to miss it
you better live now
cause no one’s going to get out alive…alive
*can I be happy now
can I let my breath out
let me believe
I’m building a dream
don’t try to drag me down
I just want to scream out loud
can I be happy now
been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I’m truning my world around
can I be happy now*
I’m turning my world around
can I be happy now…
