Why can't I just be happy?
Why can't I just smile?
Sure! I've been in depression.
And yes, I've been in it a while.

Nowadays smile means depression.
Go ahead, put me in a box.
Mark it with "Sadness"
And let it be the new mainstream talk.

But let me ask you this,
Sit down, stay a while.
Why can't I just be happy?
Why can't I just smile?
