Happy now

What would you say to me,
If I told you I had a dream,
If I told you everything,
Would you tell me to go back to sleep.

Take a look in these tired eyes,
They're coming back to life,
I know I can change, got hope in my veins,
I tell you I ain't going back to the pain.

Can I be happy now?,
Can I let my breath out?,
Let me believe,
I'm building a dream,
Don't try to drag me down.

I just wanna scream out loud,
Can I be happy now?,
Went down on my knees,
I learned how to bleed,
I'm turning my world around.

Can I be happy now?,
Can I break free somehow?,
I just wanna live again,
Love again,
Take my pride off off of the ground.

I'm ready to pick a fight,
Crawl out of the dark to shine a light,
I ain't throwing stones, got sins of my own,
And everybody just trying to find their way home.

Can I be happy now?,
Can I let my breath out?,
Let me believe,
I'm building a dream,
Don't try to drag me down.

I just wanna scream out loud,
Can I be happy now?,
Went down on my knees,
I learned how to bleed,
I'm turning my world around.

You're born and you die, and it's gone in a minute,
I ain't looking back, 'cause I don't wanna miss it,
You better live now,
Cause no one's gonna get out alive, alive.

Can I be happy now?,
Can I let my breath out?,
Let me believe,
I'm building a dream,
Don't try to drag me down.

I just wanna scream out loud,
Can I be happy now?,
Went down on my knees,
I learned how to bleed,
I'm turning my world around.

Can I be happy now?,
I'm turning my world around.
