i feel guilty when i'm happy
because i know that you aren't happy
that you're still sad, still depressed
and that you haven't had a happy high yet
i feel guilty when i'm happy
because i know my happiness won't last
and i don't want to get people's hopes up
my emotions, my mood
it's all like a roller coaster
i have my highs and lows
but i don't have a map, a blueprint
i'm riding this roller coaster blind
i never know what to expect
i can just feel what's next in my bones
it's etched there, some type of genetic malfunction
so i know that my high is only temporary
i can feel the darkness creep up again
(and i wonder, can i fight it off this time?)
i feel guilty when i'm happy
because happiness is a rare commodity
and i think you deserve it more
than i do
