I hate being happy
I hate being happy
Because i know I’ll be sad again soon
I hate laughing
Because i know how quickly it turns to tears
I hate being funny
Because i knownit can be taken the wrong way
I hate having energy
Because i know soon i will be tired
I hate being happy
Because never in my life has it stayed that way
I’m always sad in a matter of days
I hate being happy
Because i know it will end
And good things have to end
I know
But its not fair
That sadness steals the show
I hate laughing
Because it turns to tears
Everytime
Because laughter comes
At awkward times
That leads to crying
While hiding to avoid the conflict
I hate being happy
because it isn’t the same
Being sad may be miserable
But at least it will never change
