lyrics

I am happy, I am sad
I am happy, I am sad

That could’ve been me in that black gown
Smiling serene with my hair down
And it’s easy to say you do better
Tuck it away, day’s a black letter now
I get stuck in these sad thoughts, soul a grid of crosses and noughts
Hold me at arms length, ready to detonate
So buy something that glitters
Good thing I’m not a quitter
Any day can be a black letter day

I am happy, I am sad
I am happy, I am sad

I am happy for your daughter, I am sad for myself
I am happy for your daughter, I am sad for myself
Life is just a fever dream
No one here is evergreen
So shrug, we shrug, we shrug
And if all I ever do means nothing much to you
It doesn’t matter
I am enough

You sit alone on a cold bench
Fill up the moat on your fortress
You firing your arrows to the distance
Pumping the fuel through the pistons
And all these people round you, fill you up their friendship grounds you
Can you break apart the shell of fear inside?
There’s a fighter in the ring and
He’s only got one praise to sing and
Now you’ve got love on your side

I am happy for your daughter, I am sad for myself
I am happy for your daughter, I am sad for myself
Life is just a fever dream
No one here is evergreen
So shrug, we shrug, we shrug
And if all I ever do means nothing much to you
It doesn’t matter
I am enough
