So far things have been alright No complaints, oh this is the good life But sometimes I need more Just to get up and out the door I like to live in an altered state It makes me love all the things I hate And I'm happy to be alive Don't want to come off too straight I like to put on my happy face While I cry on the inside Is it so hard to be happy That I struggle to feel just ok And I need a lift just to get through Just to get up to normal with you I like to live in an altered state It makes me love all the things I hate And I'm happy to be alive Don't want to come off too straight laced I like to put on my happy face While I cry on the inside Yeah sometimes I need more Just to get up off the floor I like to live in an altered state It makes me love the things I hate And I'm happy to be alive Don't want to come off too straight laced I like to put on my happy face While I cry on the inside
