"If You Can't Be Happy" lyrics

"If You Can't Be Happy"

If you can't be happy
Can I do the best I can?
If you can't be happy
Can I be your biggest fan?
'Cause you look so good, so blue
Maybe too good to be true

If you can't be happy
Can we say that that's okay?
Can we take a little
And then throw the rest away?
Can we hide it in our songs
For the ones who feel the same?

And don't let it go to waste
I'm in my happy place
Whenever you rain
It's a beautiful day

If you can't be happy
Can you give yourself a rest?
If you can't be happy
Lift your head up from my chest
Tell the voices in your head
Not to talk to you that way

And don't hide your crying face
I'm in my happy place
Whenever you rain
It's a beautiful day

If you can't be happy
If you can't be happy

If you can't be happy
Maybe you could fly away
Out to San Diego
On your way to Santa Fe
Are you driving up the coast?
Are you tapping on the wheel?

If you can't be happy
If you can't be happy
