I’m Happy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What's wrong with me?
Is there somebody else inside my head
That doesn't want me to be happy?
I know my rights, I live until I die
I've got this bed
Each night I go to sleep and dream
I'm swimmin' in the deep end
You're my buoy and I'm sinkin'
Life flies by me but I'm thinkin'

[Chorus]
You saved my life and now I'm happy
'Cause finally I feel I got it all
Started out with nothing at all
And even when I might fall down
I know my luck come back around

[Verse 2]
They tellin' me, that I should love myself
Sometimes I fail
But then you hit me like a whiplash
Yellin' in my corner
She's a wild one, yes, I should warn ya'
Life flies by me every mornin'
[Chorus]
You saved my life and now I'm happy
'Cause finally I feel I got it all
Started out with nothing at all
And even when I might fall down
I know my luck come back around

[Bridge]
They tell me to write a paragraph of everything I love about me
Write a paragraph and send it in the mail
To a future me, that's trying desperately to start a family
Teach them to love themself

Teach them to love themself
Teach them to love themself

[Chorus]
I'm happy
'Cause finally I feel I got it all
Started out with nothing at all
And even when I might fall down
I know my luck come back around
I'm happy
'Cause finally I feel I got it all
Started out with nothing at all
And even when I might fall down
I know my luck come back around
[Outro]
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
(Ha-)
