Happiness makes me sad.
(Verse 1) I'm sipping on sunshine, but it tastes like rain, Chasing all these dreams, but they're slipping down the drain. Got a smile like a Cheshire, but it’s melting like ice, Put my happiness on layaway; guess that's my vice. (Pre-Chorus) Painted joy across my heart, but the canvas feels cracked, Got a PhD in self-doubt, but I’m trying to relax. Life's a pot of gold that's rusting at the seams, Wishing on a star, but landing on my dreams. (Hook) Oh, happiness makes me sad, what a twisted joke, Like the punchline of a story, that nobody wrote. Love your life, they say, but I'm a clown with a tear, In the comedy of feelings, I’m the king of my fears. (Verse 2) I got a golden retriever, chasing all my goals, But each time I grab a rainbow, it just stretches and rolls. Psychology’s my sidekick, it’s a laugh and a moan, Analyzing all my highs, but always feeling alone. (Pre-Chorus) Like a butterfly in therapy, wings weighed down by doubt, I’m meditating on my madness, trying to figure it out. Life’s a cosmic joke with punchlines lined in gray, But I’ll keep on juggling, until I find my way. (Hook) Oh, happiness makes me sad, what a twisted joke, Like a punchline of a story that nobody wrote. Love your life, they say, but I'm a clown in the crowd, In the circus of existence, I’m just laughing out loud. (Bridge) Mirror ball reflections, shining in my mind, Every sparkle tells a story, every frown is a bind. The law of attraction’s got me laughing at my dreams, Like a stand-up comic hoping for some self-esteem. (Verse 3) So I toast to my troubles, with a wink and a grin, Maybe happiness is hiding, beneath this skin. I’ll dance with my doubts like they’re friends of the past, In this lounge of my life, I’ll find joy that will last. (Bridge) So here’s my self-deprecating, singsong little rhyme, Life's a goofy game of chess, and I'm playing it part-time. With a heart full of laughter, yeah, I’ll take a sip of hope, Even when the day feels heavy like tightrope without rope. (verse) Oh, happiness may tug my heart, make me giggle ‘til I cry, With every missed connection, there's a reason and a why. So I raise my glass to life, in all its ups and downs, With a laugh and a smile, I’ll wear my joyful crown. Yeah, happiness makes me sad, but I’m dancing through the pain, With a wink to the cosmos, I’ll keep spinning in this game. (Outro) So let’s twirl through the heartache, on this jazz-man’s tune, Life’s a pop in the lounge, with a sarcastic moon. It’s a ride that’s confusing, but I’ll buckle up tight, Because happiness makes me sad—oh, what a delight!
