Happiness Is Lonely

it's not easy being happy, I never knew that
it was such a lonesome drive. I always thought that
I'd be connected with so many
if I just learned to find the joy in being aliveBut misery loves company, us fools do suffer
And somehow pleasure bleeds out from the pain
And as my heart grows ever light, my lovers seem as quick to fade
I've never been so open, and I must admit I'm just a tad dismayedThe more that we bring it
The more to our own selves we are true
The more it becomes abundantly clear
That's not how most souls here do
Can we love without expectation?
Can we breathe right in this sensation?
Why are we so afraid of things being okay?
every day I wake up laughing, just wish that I knew
someone intimate to share
the life of breathless childlike wonder one cultivates
when life is lived with passion under open air
misery loves company, us fools do suffer
but pleasure can be had without pain
and if i do just one thing in this life, i wanna change as many minds as i can
learn to illuminate these perfect flamesThe more that we bring it
The more to our own selves we are true
The more it becomes abundantly clear
This takes a damn strong soul to do
So i love without expectation
I breathe right into this sensation
And i know that someday i'll spark that perfect flame
