Lyrics

Happy

[Verse 1]

Come help me out, I'm sick from the fight

From inserting a laugh where there's none

Show me where this joke got tired

Tell me you know 'cause I'm slow catching on

[Verse 2]

You're trying to break me down with your tuneless song

That kept me up all night

Take me to the fair where the lifeless singers

Will let you ride up beside them sometimes

[Chorus]

And you're putting a line

Where there should be not a line

And you're building divides

[Verse 3]

Come cut me out I got caught in the wire

From believing the filtering downs

Show me where the stakes got higher

Just goes to show how slow we've become

[Chorus]

And you're putting a line

Where there should be not a line

And you're building divides

And putting a line

Why are you building divides?

Is it some failing in your life?
