Lyricist : Josh Landry
I got all the things I dreamt about
But none of that raises all the doubt in me
And money doesn't seem to change a thing
When all I ever seemed to do is sit and think
They say, how could you be depressed?
You don't know how much you're blessed
I guess they don't see the hands on my neck
It's funny I know they're right
When they all say I'm a mess
Wearing all my success like failure's what I do best
I thought I'd be happier by now
Happier by now, happier
Got on the word but it's still not enough, I
I thought I'd be happier by now
Happier by now, happier
Got on the word but it still doesn't feel right
I thought I'd be happier by now
I thought I'd be happier by now
Happier by now, happier, no
(I thought I'd be happier by now)
Thought that finding all the finer things
Would fix the kid and pieces left alive in me
But every tragic turns to tragedy
'Cause all they ever seemed to do is bury me
They say, how could you be depressed?
You don't know how much you're blessed (Huh)
You got all this, and more how could you say that you're stressed?
It's embarrassing but they're right
When they all say I'm a mess
Wearing all my success like failure's what I do best
I thought I'd be happier by now
Happier by now, happier
Got on the word but it's still not enough, I
I thought I'd be happier by now (By now)
Happier by now (By now), happier
Got on the word but it still doesn't feel right
I thought I'd be happier by now
I thought I'd be happier by now
Happier by now, happier, no
(I thought I'd be happier by now)
Don't know what it is that I still chase
I wanna say I'm proud but it feels fake
I don't wanna be someone I hate
I wanna be happier
I'm sick of people laughing in my face
When I try to talk about my pain
When the mission isn't fame or a big name
I wanna be happier
