Lyrics I'll Never Be Happy Again - Philip Labes

I used to say I'd never be unhappy
I thought that that was something I could do
I said, I won't let my twenties start to trap me
Other people must grow old
Their jokes get jaded, hearts get cold
But I can keep on being twenty-two

Now I read my lyrics and feel foolish
I've got room for everything inside
So when you say, "I don't think I can do this
I've exercised and said my prayers
But still the pain's too much to bear
And this time it's not gonna be alright"
When you say

"I'll never be happy again
I'll never be happy again
Where is my violin
I'll never be happy again"

We had a trampoline in our front garden
One night I fell and bled out in the dark
See every story's only what you sharpen
What went wrong we were kids
I choose what the story is
I choose what to carry in my heart

You say "don't you dare mess with my emotions
Your toxic positivity's a bore
"Don't show me the mountains or the oceans
Hit the bricks, leave me alone, I've got nature on my phone
I would rather sink into the floor"

"And never be happy again
I'll never be happy again
Where is my violin
I'll never be happy again"

When I'm lost from the light
When I cannot find a reason
To get out of bed
To make some tea
Don't give up the fight
Every feeling has a season
I'm not alright, but I'm gonna be

You don't have to ever feel all better
Certain songs may never fade away
But let my love be your favorite sweater
It took a year to finally know
Pain will come and pain will go
But stick around and it'll be okay

And you will be happy again
You will be happy again
I cannot tell you when
But you will be happy
You will happy again
