about
Every now and then you have to see, is this what I want? And it is a pity to be happy the wrong way. I think we can find happiness in a lot of things, but it might not be yourself. You might be experiencing something that might be for someone else. You might be dating a girl who might be meant for someone else. And there’s a point when you have to say, ‘this is not for me, I need to accept that. You need to live your own dreams and not someone else’s.
lyrics
(And it's a pity to be happy this way)
Pity to be happy
Pity to be warm in gladness
Pity all my laughing
Pity to be swarmed with sadness
I'm so used to being lonely
Now that I'm in love, I've nearly lost my mind
There's no joy in being phony
There's no joy I've nearly lost my mind
It feels like heaven, but not for me
I don't deserve to be in her need
It feels like living in someone else's dreams
In someone else's dreams
Pity to be happy
Pity to be warm in gladness
Pity all my laughing
Pity to be swarmed with sadness
I'm so used to being lonely
Now that I'm in love, I've nearly lost my mind
There's no joy in being phony
There's no joy I've nearly lost my mind
My smile is bursting out of its seams
Her eyes are pretty, but aren't for me
It feels like living in someone else's dreams
In someone else's dreams
Someone else's dreams
It feels like, it feels like living in someone else's dreams
And it's a pity to be happy this way
It's a pity to be happy
It's a pity to be happy this way with her
This way with her
I'm so used to being lonely
Now that I'm in love, I've nearly lost my mind
There's no joy in being phony
There's no joy I've nearly lost my mind
