happy now

what would you say to me

if i told you i had a dream

if i told you everything

would you tell me to go back to sleep

take a look in these tired eyes

they're coming back to life

i know i can change

got hope in my veins

i'm telling you i ain't going back to the pain

can i be happy now

can i let my breath out

let me believe

i'm building a dream

don't try to drag me down

i just want to scream out loud

can i be happy now

been down on my knees

i learned how to bleed

i'm turnin my world around

can i be happy now

can i break free somehow

i just want to live again

love again

pick my pride up off of the ground

i'm ready to pick a fight

crawl out of the dark to shine a light

i ain't throwing stones

got sins of my own

ain't everbody just trying to find a way home

can i be happy now

can i let my breath out

let me believe

i'm building a dream

don't try to drag me down

i just want to scream out loud

can i be happy now

been down on my knees

i learned how to bleed

i'm turning my world around

you're born then you die

it's all gone in a minute

i ain't looking back

cause i don't want to miss it

you better live now

cause no one's going to get out alive

alive

can i be happy now

can i let my breath out

let me believe

i'm building a dream

don't try to drag me down

i just want to scream out loud

can i be happy now

been down on my knees

i learned how to bleed

i'm turning my world around

can i be happy now

ohhhh

i'm turning my world around

can i be happy now
