Glad to Be Unhappy
Embracing the Bittersweet: Unraveling the Poignant Tale of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
Look at yourself...
Self-reflection, urging oneself to introspect
If you had sense of humor
Suggesting that having a sense of humor would help
You would laugh to beat the band...
An encouragement to laugh heartily
Look at yourself
Reiterating the need for self-examination
Do you still believe the rumor
Questioning belief in the greatness of romance
That romance is simply grand?
Doubting the idealization of romance
Since you took it right on the chin
Feeling the impact of a setback
You have lost that bright toothpaste grin
Noticing the loss of a cheerful demeanor
My mental state is all a-jumble
Emotional confusion and turmoil
I sit around in sadly mumble
Expressing sadness and discontent
Fools rush in, so here I am!
Acting impulsively despite risks
Very glad to be unhappy
Deriving a sense of comfort from unhappiness
I can't win, but here I am
Accepting inability to succeed but still persisting
More than glad to be unhappy
Finding solace in being unhappy
Unrequited love's a bore and I've got it pretty bad
Expressing the dullness of unreciprocated love
But for someone you adore
Believing it's fulfilling to be sad for someone loved
It's a pleasure to be sad...
Deriving pleasure from sadness for a loved one
Like a straying baby lamb
Feeling lost and alone like a vulnerable creature
With no mammy and no pappy
Describing a sense of abandonment
I'm so unhappy
Expressing deep unhappiness
But, oh, so glad!
Paradoxically finding joy in the misery
