Happy
Leona Lewis Lyrics

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

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
But all these days, they feel like they're the same
Just different faces, different names
Get me out of here
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

It's horrible. Watching the love of your life being happy with someone else.

Hi @momo sternschnuppe I'm going through the same thing. I can relate to your pain but I think time will heal us...

Hélia Alves

I disagree. It's horrible to see the love of your life be miserable with someone else. If he's happy with someone else, I'm content.

momo sternschnuppe

1y↑1

it is . i love him so much. but he doesnt . we were so good friends and i told him about my feelings. then it became so difficult because he does not feel the same way. he had a relattionship with a friend of me... that was soo hard. sometimes when you love someone that deep it is hard to understand how this is just you and how he cant feel the same way. i hope it gets better with time. but i struggle now for 3 years and i guess i always will. at least we are becoming friends again..

If you think that she is underrated then what does that make Ryan Tedder/Onerepublic?! (he wrote most of her songs) Good music just gets lost in between all the Drake's, Cardi B, Minaj bullshit, unfortunately..

Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

I totally agree because without you didn't live - pain is the ryme of love(too much people are not able to build up clean and real feelings to other human beings anymore)

This video still makes me as emotional as it did the very first time I watched it, just after I had to endure the pain of watching him marry someone else, instead of me.

Simone Thomas

She chose not to have the guy..she wanted more, to see what else life had to offer 🚶

Mari Dancekpop

2y↑29

Believe it or not, this song and music video changed my life. I've been liking a guy for 6 years and it wasn't until know that I've decided to tell him about that. I didn't want to see how the love of my life gets married with another one as in this video. Guess what, he also shares the same feelings for me and now we are dating ♥♥ A little advice: never be scared to tell someone that you like him/her, it's better to try and fail than regretting it for the rest of your life.

Nhung Bui

I have crush on him, but even I haven't talk to him while I had some chances to do it. Now I'm keep playing this song and I don't know why it makes me cry so hard.

My sympathies to all those who miss their Exs due to infidelity. It probably kills but remember the ocean is full of fish & if you are a nice person (other's standards) you might meet your match & hopefully until death do you part.

Oh my god!!! This song, music and video/story is heart wrenching. Really a masterpiece of a story, it goes right in - under your skin. She's so beautiful, her voice, and he's so beautiful, their flirting so innocent and passionate and beautiful.. they are PERFECT! Everything is perfect. But then it all ends so miserably! So tragic!! The musical effect, when he turns the bride around and we see that its THE OTHER WOMAN!!! OH MY GOOOOD!!!! I cant stand it. And when he looks back at her in the end - thinking what it could have been!!! OH MY GOD!!!
