I'll Be Happy

They say that misery

Is the greatest inspiration

They say that being happy

Just makes you dumb

They say you're boring when

When you've got a friend

I think they just don't know

How good it feels to be in love

Let someone else write

The songs that make you cry

Let someone else write

All the really moving lines

Let someone else be

The ones they call amazing

And I'll be happy here

Happy right by your side

They say that misery

Is the only inspiration

They say that being happy

Just makes you dumb

They say you're boring when

When you've got a friend

I think they just don't know

How good it feels to be in love

Because all I know

Is how I feel when I'm around you

I could take the whole world on if I had to

You inspire me in ways

No one will ever know

And it breaks my heart

Every single minute I'm alone

They say that misery

Is the greatest inspiration

They say that being happy

Just makes you dumb

They say you're boring when

When you've got a friend

I think they just don't know

How good it feels to be in love

But now I think I know

What they were talking about

But I still refuse to believe it

No I don't want to have to write the song

Oh no it can't be me

But I'd have to agree that

Misery sure makes you

Want to play guitar and sing

Pour your heart out

On six strings

Write words that are

Oh so embarrassing

Spill your guts

To anybody that'll listen

Oh now I know what I've been missing

They say that misery

Is the greatest inspiration

They say that being happy

Just makes you dumb

They say you're boring when

When you've got a friend

I think they just don't know

How good it felt to be in love
