Thoughts, Poems, And Depression

Happy Hurts by Icon For Hire

(Happy Hurts was one of my favorites by Icon For Hire. If you enjoy this song, I encourage you to go look up more by them. I was able to connect with this song on a deep emotional level, and I think others will be able to do the same.)

Happy hurts sometimes
Oh
Blame it on the monsters in my mind
Oh
I've getting better
At slowly getting worse
Oh-oh-oh
What's wrong with me when happy hurts
Happy hurts

This on again off again temperamental affection
For my darling depression is making me go mad
I hear there's a fine line between crazy and sad
But I can't tell the difference up close
There's a lot of us y'know
Ill and undiagnosed
But I don't need a piece of paper to tell me what I already know
I'm not alright for tonight
Can we let that be alright
Pick up the battle again in the morning light

I've been finghting so hard
To come out of the dark
Trying to turn off the night
Finally let in the light
Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history
Little less victim
Little more victory

Happy hurts sometimes
Oh
Blame it on the monsters in my mind
Oh
I keep getting better
At slowly getting worse
Oh-oh-oh
What's wrong with me when happy hurts
Happy hurts

Today I feel okay
Guess it was all just in my head
I just need to try harder I guess
Yeah, everyone else in the world seems to be doing alright
Yeah, I'm alright for tonight
Can we let the pain and the happy mix
Can the two coexist
The beauty next to the mess
Because I swear I have them both already beating in my chest
If that makes me crazy
The numbers don't lie
But I don't call that crazy
I call it being alive

And I'm fighting so hard
To come out of the dark
Trying to turn off the night
Finally let in the light
Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history
Little less victim please

Happy hurts sometimes
Oh
Blame it on the monsters in my mind
Oh
I keep getting better
At slowly getting worse
Oh-oh-oh
What's wrong with me when happy hurts
Happy hurts

If I had to pick between the way that I am
And the way that everybody else seems to pretend
I wouldn't consider it
Not for even a second
Between psycho and sanity
It's not even a question
My favorite parts of myself seem to make the least sense
All the cracks in my skin
They just let the light in
My favorite parts of myself make the least sense
All the cracks in my skin
Let the light in

Happy hurts sometimes
Oh
All I want's the one thing I can't find
I keep getting better
At slowly getting worse
Oh-oh-oh
What's wrong with me when happy hurts

What's wrong with me when happy hurts

I keep getting better
At slowly getting worse
Oh-oh-oh
What's wrong with me when happy hurts
Happy hurts
