The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Someone once told me that you have to choose What you win or lose You can't have everything Don't you take chances Might feel the pain Don't you love in vain 'Cause love won't set you free I can't stand by the side And watch this life pass me by So unhappy But safe as could be So what if it hurts me? So what if I break down? So what if this world just throws me off the edge My feet run out of ground I gotta find my place I wanna hear my sound Don't care about all the pain in front of me 'Cause I'm just trying to be happy, yeah Just wanna be happy, yeah Holding on tightly Just can't let it go Just trying to play my role Slowly disappear, oh Well all these days, they feel like they're the same Just different faces, different names Get me out of here But I can't stand by your side, oh no And watch this life pass me by, pass me by So what if it hurts me? So what if I break down? So what if this world just throws me off the edge My feet run out of ground I gotta find my place I wanna hear my sound Don't care about all the pain in front of me 'Cause I'm just trying to be happy, oh, happy, oh So any turns that I can't see, Like I'm a stranger on this road But don't say victim Don't say anything So what if it hurts me? So what if I break down? So what if this world just throws me off the edge My feet run out of ground I gotta find my place I wanna hear my sound Don't care about all the pain in front of me I just wanna be happy Oh, yeah, happy, oh, happy I just wanna be, oh I just wanna be happy Oh, happy
