[Pre-Chorus]
I want to stay inside forever
In that worn-out yellow sweater
The warmth I used to feel is still there
Heavy signs like clouds, surround me
Why do they feel so lonely?
I can't pretend to care
[Chorus]
I'm trying to be happy
I'm trying to find a way in this unrelenting world
Where I promised that I would stay
I'll figure it out then you'll see
I'm everything I ever claimed to be
Smile through the dark, to the sky, laugh away
[Verse]
Never thought I'd put my phone down
Suffocating in a bubble, who's wearing the crown?
Everyone's looking for the next big thing
While I'm still so lost in a closing ring of faces
The shameless (A sad mess) constantly walking an endless
Road to the moon, to the stars
And I hope to god you get far
An eternity's too long to stay on the stage
When will I turn the next page?
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me stay inside forever
In that worn-out yellow sweater
When will the colors fade?
This pretty, pretty palette of dull shades
What's the definition of a good friend?
It's hard to tell in this mad race to the end
Can I live so unafraid?
[Chorus]
I'm trying to be happy
I'm trying to find a way in this unrelenting world
Where I promised that I would stay
I'll figure it out then you'll see
I'm everything I ever claimed to be
Smile through the dark, to the sky, laugh away
I'm trying to be happy
