Unhappy Lyrics by Oliver Stay

If I’m Being Honest

2018

[Verse 1]
So you say you want me to be happy?
Well I guess I want that too
But I can’t stop staring at this blank white wall
Think I gotta get out this room
No matter what it takes
I guess I could drive
But it’s a sad and pathetic waste of a tank
So I dig deep
Would nobody miss me if I break clean?
But I’m more than skin deep
‘Cause I bleed for this
Could you read my lips?
‘Cause I’m drawing blanks
Just cut me a break
[PreChorus]
I could go, I could go anywhere
If only I’d let me
If you met me, you wouldn’t be that impressed
I’m coming up empty
And it shows, and it shows sometimes
I get a little bit scared
When the door closes shut
And no one else is there
[Chorus]
I’ve had my days where I’m unhappy
But my eyes pretend that I am fine
I’ve spent my years feeling unworthy of all your time
Do you know? Do you know?
Do you know what I think about at night?
When I’m laying on these streets
Or when I’m standing on my bed
Could make a knot from all these sheets
No, no
Do you wanna be happy?
Do you wanna escape the night and the empathy?
Well don’t take it from me
[Verse 2]
I remember feeling choked and lonely
And I remember long nights of no sleep
But please remember these days would pass me by
And I remember chasing ghosts named “Joy”
And I recall the thoughts I’d destroy
But I get so desperate
I need out of my head, I need out of my head
I need out
But the webs don’t break
They grow stretched and they tangle
I think the spiders like to watch me stand there and strangle
But I know that I can get myself ahead
If I give myself enough credit to step
Let’s try, let’s try something better
Know that I can do better
[Verse 3]
I take my strides as a gift from me
I take a foot to the sand but I don’t dig in
I’ve got a long road ahead of me
I’ve got a long road
I turn my cheeks up to the sky
I’ve been waiting four years and I don’t know why
I’ve got a long road ahead of me
I’ve got a long road
I’m so sick of feeling unhappy
I’m sick of feeling unhappy
I wanna feel alive
I wanna feel worth it
I’m so sick of feeling unhappy
Please let me feel like I can be whatever I want to be
