"Happy People" lyrics
JZAC & Liam St. John Lyrics
We all look like a bunch of happy people around each other
But inside we got these demons that we facing
Quick to lie and smile to a stranger when they ask me how I'm doing
I said, everything's amazing
Well, we know that's not the case and there's a lot that's on my plate
But I won't waste your time so let me not explain it
You see even though I'm hurting I know people got it worse
So I don't wanna make it sound like I'm complaining
I remember when I worked this super market job
And just had dreams of being big in entertainment
I used to work with this kid John he'd always put my music on
And gas me up and tell me how I'm gonna make it
Every time I saw him man the dude just seemed so happy
And we always had some awesome conversations
It really hit me by surprise when John had overdosed and died
I didn't know he fought addiction fuck that's crazy RIP
I know you're barely hanging on
And lately you've been lonely
I know it's been a really long road
And you feel a little broken
But you gotta keep hanging on
Cuz this is only a moment
And when you're feeling like you don't belong
You're not alone just keep on hoping
Eric works a job he doesn't like and needs some time to decompress
Barely picks the head up off the pillow now cuz he depressed
Leaves to fill his medication bottle up at CVS
But you would never tell he going through it
Am I happy, are you happy? that's the question if you ask me
Got a million different things that I can do that will distract me from it
Some of us get high and some just hide behind an avi
Some can't focus in on nothing til they pop a couple addys
All these deeply rooted issues they're all tough to explain
I understand how it's easy just to run from the pain
And as life takes its toll it really fucks with your brain
So over time it just gets harder now to function the same I know it
None of it is simple we could only imagine
Some days I'm at the crib probably overreacting
Writing sad songs about it shit you know how it happens
I try listening and showing compassion
I know you're barely hanging on
And lately you've been lonely
I know it's been a really long road
And you feel a little broken
But you gotta keep hanging on
Cuz this is only a moment
And when you're feeling like you don't belong
You're not alone just keep on hoping
(Eric works a job he doesn't like and needs some time to decompress
Barely picks the head up off the pillow now cuz he depressed
