"Happy Tears" lyrics

It's never easy being different
Growing up, I never fit in
I know you walk that extra mile
You got so much on your own plate
People look at you the wrong way
Yet you're the only one who smiles

All the things that we've been through
At least this world ain't changing you

When I cry for you, it's happy tears that I cry
When I cry for you, it's happy tears in my eyes
While everybody is trying to be perfect
You show us how perfect is worthless
Happy tears

We're kids, we're celebrating
You didn't get an invitation
You ask me, brother, what to do
Sad and devastated
Still the one who never hated
I wish I was as strong as you

And all the things that we've been through
At least this world ain't changing you

When I cry for you, it's happy tears that I cry
When I cry for you, it's happy tears in my eyes
While everybody is trying to be perfect
You show us how perfect is worthless
Happy tears

While the world is tearin' apart
You'll be there to light the dark
With nothing except your presence
When I should take care of you
You're the one taking care of me
And I just want you to know

That when I cry for you, it's happy tears that I cry
When I cry for you, it's happy tears in my eyes
While everybody is trying to be perfect
You show us how perfect is worthless
With happy tears
