I'm happy
isn't that what you want to hear
that I'm a happy normal teenage girl
I'll smile
be pretty
smile
and laugh
isn't this what you want?
a happy normal teenage girl

I'm sad
but you're not happy
because my face is in a frown
but I was happy and you were sad
and now I'm sad and you're mad
I'm confused
do you want me to be happy

I'm happy
and you're mad
you're sad
can't you ever just be happy
is this some inconceivable notion
why can't you be happy
be sunny and warm
why can't you be happy
just be happy with me

I'm happy
and I pray for the day you are too
I pray for the day where you find your way
from sad
and mad
and devastatingly tragic
to happy
just happy
please be happy

I'm not happy
I'm not sad
I'm not mad
I'm confused
I don't understand
the choice
the decision you made
all I wanted was
your happiness
your every joy
and dream to come true
but you couldn't let yourself be happy
and now I'm left forever
to be without you

I couldn't be happy
and I know you wanted for my every dream to come true
but happiness just isn't that easy
for a happy normal teenage girl
and I know what they'll say
I'm weak
a cliche
but at least I won't be there to face
the judging
the smirking
and my body's slow decay
of old age
I'll stay young and pretty
forever
immortal
so maybe I'll be happy
