Happiness, it takes a while
Sometimes it fails, sometimes we cry
Happiness, it takes a while
But when I'm with you, it isn't hard to find
I used to be so caught up in pain and misery
Sad, tired, lost and lonely was all I'd ever be
I used to be so caught up in all the lies of this world
"Baby, you're no good", was all I ever heard
But when you came around, picked me off the ground
Something changed, was different, deep inside of me
Happiness, it takes a while
Sometimes it fails, sometimes we cry
Happiness, it takes a while
But when I'm with you, it isn't hard to find
You've given me new life
A new mind, a new heart
A new start, a new life, a new life
I used to be so unsure if anyone loved me
Sad, tired, lost and lonely was the only way I'd feel
I used to be so unsure if, living was worthwhile
Tomorrow may not show up, "let's just have a good time"
But on the road to nowhere, you took some time for me
Taught me to let go, showed me who to be
You said
Happiness, it takes a while
Sometimes it fails, sometimes we cry
Happiness, it takes a while
But when I'm with you, it won't be hard to find
I'm giving you a new life, a new mind
A new heart, a new start
A new life, yes, a new life
I can't believe it, this is me
I can't believe it, I feel free
I can't believe it, is this real
I can't believe it, after all, you've done for me
You've given me new life, a new mind
A new heart, a new start
A new life, yes, a new life, a new life
