[Verse 1]

Eight long years and it's starting to erupt

Face to face with all of my bad luck

One more hit 'til my world caves in

Just came home to an empty apartment

My girl just left, it's fine, she was heartless

Spent the night in jail, dollar short on bail

I'm good at promise-breaking

[Chorus]

Don't wanna waste another day sad

I'm sick of all the hours spent mad

I just wanna be happy

Don't wanna fake a smile for the night

Pretend to live when I'm dead inside

So what's it like to be happy?

This hell is all I know

[Verse 2]

As I recall, I got ripped off, cheated on

Lost friends, my head, and a good job

I cross my fingers, but nothing changes

I was trapped alone in a room with my thoughts

I'm damned if I do, I'm damned if I stop

Reminding myself of all the years I've wasted

[Chorus]

Don't wanna waste another day sad

I'm sick of all the hours spent mad

I just wanna be happy

Don't wanna fake a smile for the night

Pretend to live when I'm dead inside

So what's it like to be happy?

This hell is all I know

[Bridge]

Life's been dimming my afterglow

And Heaven feels a million miles away from home

I've been thrown to the wolves

Been thrown to the wolves

Life's been dimming my afterglow

And Heaven feels a million miles away from home

I've been thrown to the wolves

Been thrown to the wolves

[Chorus]

Don't wanna waste another day sad

I'm sick of all the hours spent mad

I just wanna be happy

Don't wanna fake a smile for the night

Pretend to live when I'm dead inside

So what's it like to be happy?

This hell is all I know

[Outro]

This hell is all I know
