Happiness Is Something You Must Chase
have u ever been sad without a reason to be like that
and u felt like crying without letting any tear to fall on a pad
you have nothing to give this time u became extremely numb
and u felt like u're chained till u can't even breathe anymore
and suddenly you want to let go you want to give up
and everything u started u want it to stop
as u live this life as u discover this emptiness deep inside
and you start to feel this pain buried in your lonely heart
everything has been hidden for so long become free to explode
and u wish to be killed by one simple shot
although u keep breathing even though u wish to die
it's something u can't control even if u try
one day u looked at the others and you discovered the worse
then a shy smile has been drawn on your face
u find out that u're a selfish person who thought is under a curse
and happiness is what u can make it's something u must chase
