Lyrics

This Isn't Happiness

Stay close, wait for the daylight

A cup won't fill in my empty hole

[Hook]

Whatever it is, it never is the best

This isn't happiness

However it feels, it leaves me feeling less

This isn't happiness

Alone, in a room full of people

They talk, lips move but the words don't come out

[Hook]

Whatever it is, it never is the best

This isn't happiness

However it feels, it leaves me feeling less

This isn't happiness

However it feels, it leaves me feeling less

This isn't happiness, no

[Hook]

Whatever it is, it never is the best

This isn't happiness

However it feels, it leaves me feeling less

This isn't that no no no

This isn't happiness

Happiness, happiness, happiness

Happiness, happiness, happiness
