Someone once told me
That you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can't have everything
Don’t you take chances
You might feel the pain
Don’t you love in vain
'Cause love wont set you free
I could 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 other pain in front of me
'Cause i’m just tryna be happy, yea
Just wanna be happy, yea

Holding on tightly
Just cant let it go
Just tryna play my roll
Slowly disappear, oooh
Well all these tears
They feel like they’re the same
Just different faces, different names
Get me outta here
Well I can stand by the side
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 other pain in front of me
'Cause i’m just tryna be happy
Just wanna be happy
Oooh

So any turns that i cant see
I'll count 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
'Cause i’m just tryna be happy
Just wanna be happy
