Just wanna be happy

motherfuckers like fancy things
Big houses,
Big cars,
Like movie stars
Gotta have everything
Numb myself to the suffering

just wanna be happy
And thankful
Not just
Try to get through
Just wanna be happy,
Thankful
Not just
Try to get through

should I lie
Should I cheat
Turn on my tv
Tell me what I want,
What I need
I lose my faith sometimes
I lose my faith sometimes, yeah

so much suffering for
Fancy cars,
Big houses,
Everything
I lose my faith sometimes
I lose my faith sometimes, yeah

just want to be happy
And thankful
Not just
Try to get through

just want to be happy
And thankful
Just want to be happy
And thankful
Try to get through

you're all I need
Lay your burden down
Ease my sadness
You're all I need

I lose my faith sometimes
I lose faith sometimes
Just trying to get through
I lose faith sometimes

you're all I need
Lay your burden down
I lose faith sometimes
You're all I need
I'm thankful
That I feel you

ease your sadness
You're all I need
Lay your burden down
Ease my sadness
You're all I need
Lay my burden down

I laid my burden down.
