​i’ll never be happy again

[Verse 1]
I used to say I'd never be unhappy
I thought that that was something I could do
I said, "I won't let my twenties start to trap me"
Other people must grow old, their jokes get jaded, hearts get cold
But I can keep on being twenty-two

[Verse 2]
Now I read my lyrics and feel foolish
I've got room for everything inside
So when you say, "I don't think I can do this"
I've exercised and said my prayers, but still the pain's too much to bear
This time it's not gonna be alright

[Chorus]
When you say, "I'll never be happy again"
"I'll never be happy again"
Where is my violin?
I'll never be happy again

[Verse 3]
We had a trampoline in our front garden
One night I fell and bled out in the dark
See, every story's only what you sharpen
What went wrong when we were kids
I choose what the story is, I choose what to carry in my heart

[Verse 4]
You say, "don't you dare mess with my emotions"
Your toxic positivity's a bore
Don't show me the mountains or the oceans
Hit the bricks, leave me alone
I've got nature on my phone
I would rather sink into the floor

[Chorus]
And never be happy again
I'll never be happy again
Where is my violin?
I'll never be happy again

[Bridge]
When I'm lost on the line
When I cannot find a reason
To get out of bed
To make some tea
Don't give up the fight
Every feeling has a season
I'm not alright, but I'm gonna be

[Verse 5]
You don't ever have to feel all better
Certain songs may never fade away
But let my love be your favorite sweater
It took a year to finally know
Pain will come and pain will go
But stick around and it'll be okay

[Chorus]
And you will be happy again
You will be happy again
I cannot tell you when
But you will be happy, you will be happy again
