Happy Enough

I was taught "Don't expect too much from life."

To have a roof overhead, a job, a wife

I'm happy enough

I'm happy enough

I was taught to be strong. We were hit if we cried

Who am I to want more than my status and pride

I'm happy enough

I'm happy enough

I was taught I could be anything I wanted

Even President of the United States

If I worked hard enough, gave my all enough

So I worked, and I gave

To my people and my country til I realized today

That there's nothing left inside, I gave all of me away

And why am I so lonely?

I'm never enough

I will be never enough

I was taught not to listen to the doubts when they creep into my head

"Ignore those feelings, put them away."

So I ignored them, barely noticed

That I'm completely empty, so lonely, filled with dread

That it wouldn't even matter if someone stabbed me dead

'Cause I never started living

It's not enough

It has never been enough

Your people, they never get to see this side of you

This part, I keep for myself

You have to save face

Now we both know what we hide from the world

And isn't that love?

Is that love?

Isn't that love?

Is that love?

To lose your face

And open your heart

Isn't this love?

Is this love?

Isn't this love?

Is this love?

To lose your face

And open your heart

Isn't this?
