Happy
Chasing Happiness: The Unspoken Struggles Revealed in The Clarks' Song
Lyrics
I'm never gonna smile
I don't intend to smile.
I'm never gonna stay for awhile
I won't stay for a prolonged period.
I'm never gonna laugh
I won't laugh.
You might as well just cut me in half
The situation might as well deeply affect or hurt me.
Just want to run
I desire to escape.
Just want to live til I'm done
I want to live my life until it's finished.
Just want to be
I just want to exist.
As happy as I'm gonna be
I aim to achieve as much happiness as possible.
And there's nothing on the inside
I feel empty internally.
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
I'm not experiencing euphoria or intense affection.
I'm broken down not feeling right
I'm emotionally shattered and unwell.
I'm happy as I'm gonna be
I'm content with the level of happiness I can attain.
When there's nothing on the inside
I lack inner fulfillment.
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
I'm not exhilarated by life or love.
Not feeling right
I don't feel physically or emotionally well.
I'm never gonna find
I won't discover what's necessary to decide.
The thing I need to make up my mind
I won't make up my mind about something important.
I'm never gonna stand
I won't stand by your side.
Next to you I do what I can
I'll do what's within my capabilities when I'm with you.
Just want to run
I want to escape.
Just want to lie in the sun
I want to relax under the sun.
Just want to be
I just want to exist.
As happy as I'm gonna be
I aim to achieve as much happiness as possible.
And there's nothing on the inside
I feel empty internally.
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
I'm not experiencing euphoria or intense affection.
I'm broken down not feeling right
I'm emotionally shattered and unwell.
I'm happy as I'm gonna be
I'm content with the level of happiness I can attain.
When there's nothing on the inside
I lack inner fulfillment.
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
I'm not exhilarated by life or love.
Not feeling right
I don't feel physically or emotionally well.
I'm never gonna write
I won't engage in writing, lying with you, or saying goodnight.
Lay with you or whisper goodnight
I won't be physically close or intimate.
I'm never gonna call
I won't make a specific type of call.
That way I'll have nothing at all
This way, I'll have nothing left at all.
Just want to run
I want to escape.
Just want to live til I'm done
I want to live my life until it's finished.
Just want to be
I just want to exist.
