  • Someone once told me that you have to choose
    What you win or lose
    You can't have everything

    Don't you take chances
    Might feel the pain
    Don't you love in vain
    'Cause love won't set you free
    I can't stand by the side
    And watch this life pass me by
    So unhappy
    But safe as could be

    So what if it hurts me?
    So what if I break down?
    So what if this world just throws me off the edge
    My feet run out of ground
    I gotta find my place
    I wanna hear my sound
    Don't care about all the pain in front of me
    'Cause I'm just trying to be happy, yeah
    Just wanna be happy, yeah

    Holding on tightly
    Just can't let it go
    Just trying to play my role
    Slowly disappear, oh
    Well all these days, they feel like they're the same
    Just different faces, different names
    Get me out of here
    But I can't stand by your side, oh no
    And watch this life pass me by, pass me by

    So what if it hurts me?
    So what if I break down?
    So what if this world just throws me off the edge
    My feet run out of ground
    I gotta find my place
    I wanna hear my sound
    Don't care about all the pain in front of me
    'Cause I'm just trying to be happy, oh, happy, oh

    So any turns that I can't see,
    Like I'm a stranger on this road
    But don't say victim
    Don't say anything

    So what if it hurts me?
    So what if I break down?
    So what if this world just throws me off the edge
    My feet run out of ground
    I gotta find my place
    I wanna hear my sound
    Don't care about all the pain in front of me
    I just wanna be happy
    Oh, yeah, happy, oh, happy
    I just wanna be, oh
    I just wanna be happy
    Oh, happy Writer/s: Evan Bogart, Leona Louise Lewis, Ryan Tedder
