Happy Enough Lyrics by Conrad Ricamora, Alyse Alan Louis

Soft Power (Original Cast Recording)

2020

[Xue Xing]
I was taught "Don't expect too much from life."
To have a roof overhead, a job, a wife
I'm happy enough
I'm happy enough

I was taught to be strong. We were hit if we cried
Who am I to want more than my status and pride
I'm happy enough
I'm happy enough

[Hillary]
I was taught I could be anything I wanted
Even President of the United States
If I worked hard enough, gave my all enough
So I worked, and I gave
To my people and my country til I realized today
That there's nothing left inside, I gave all of me away
And why am I so lonely?
I'm never enough
I will be never enough

[Xue Xing]
I was taught not to listen to the doubts when they creep into my head
"Ignore those feelings, put them away."
So I ignored them, barely noticed
That I'm completely empty, so lonely, filled with dread
That it wouldn't even matter if someone stabbed me dead
'Cause I never started living
It's not enough
It has never been enough

(spoken)
Your people, they never get to see this side of you

[Hillary, spoken]
This part, I keep for myself

[Xue Xing]
You have to save face

[Hillary]
Now we both know what we hide from the world

(sung)
And isn't that love?

[Xue Xing, sung]
Is that love?

[Hillary]
Isn't that love?

[Xue Xing]
Is that love?

[Both]
To lose your face
And open your heart

[Hillary]
Isn't this love?

[Xue Xing]
Is this love?

[Hillary]
Isn't this love?

[Xue Xing]
Is this love?

[Both]
To lose your face
And open your heart

[Hillary]
Isn't this?
