[Verse 1]
Life doesn’t come with a “step-by-step” manual
That tells what to do when the world is so damn cruel
You put up your fists and you put on your blinders
But you’ll never find what you came lookin’ for
[Chorus]
Oh what a mess
This thing we call happiness
It’s not where I ever expect it to be
I have traveled the world
Over land over seas
Just to find it was always inside of me
[Verse 2]
Work harder get more but what is it all for
If having more finds you collapsed on the cold floor
And no one can reach you ‘cuz nobody needs you
When you don’t have time to need anyone else
[Chorus]
Oh what a mess
This thing we call happiness
It’s not where I ever expect it to be
I have traveled the world
Over land over seas
Just to find it was always inside of me
[Chorus]
Oh what a mess
This thing we call happiness
It’s not where I ever expect it to be
I have traveled the world
Over land over seas
Just to find it was always inside of me
[Chorus / Outro]
Oh what a mess
This thing we call happiness
It’s not where I ever expect it to be
I have traveled the world
Over land over seas
Just to find that it’s right here inside of me
