These are the best days of my life
So why is it all I ever do is cry myself to sleep
Feeling sorry for myself
Nothing's really wrong but I need help

I'd love to be happy
Forget that I'm sad
Forget what I'm missing
And find what I have
Why am I empty when life isn't bad?
I'd love to be happy but what if I can't?
What if I can't?

I see people barely getting by
So how is it they seem better off than I could hope to be
Makes me feel even worse
Just like all my blessing are a curse

I'd love to be happy
Forget that I'm sad
Forget what I'm missing and find what I have
Why am I empty when life isn't bad?
I'd love to be happy but what if I can't?
What if I can't?

Why does sunlight look like clouds?
Tell me how to turn the darkness down
The light is there but I've forgotten how to let it out

Oh I should be happy cause life isn't bad
I'd love to be happy but what if I can't
I'd love to be happy
Forget that I'm sad
Forget what I'm missing and find what I have
Why am I empty when life isn't bad?
I'd love to be happy but what if I can't?
What if I can't?
Oh what if I can't?
