Lyrics I Want to Be Happy - Billy the Kid

I wake up, I look outside
Nothing's going to change my mind
I'm going to be happy for my whole life
I make a list of things to do
Then I just don't follow through
I want to be happy
Guess I'm alright

Then the phone rings and it's more bad news
I try to think of something I could do

Fold my clothes, walk around
Yell at my guitar "Would you just make some sound?"
Yeah I'm happy
Might be out of my mind
Put on my shoes, and grab my coat
But there's nowhere left that I can go
Now it's happening and I'm not alright

Then the phone rings and it's more bad news
Try to think of something that I could do
Is it my frame of mind, is it my point of view
I can't feel anything, there's nothing I can do

I sit back down, I stand back
By now, you've probably heard enough
I want to be happy
I swear I tried
I want to be happy
For the rest of life
Maybe I'll never be happy
Even if I try
