What would you say to me If I told you I had a dream If I told you everything Would you tell me to go back to sleep
Take a look in these tired eyes They're coming back to life I know I can change, got hope in my veins I tell you I ain't going back to the pain
Can I be happy now? Can I let my breath out Let me believe I'm building a dream Don't try to drag me down
I just wanna scream out loud Can I be happy now? Went down on my knees I learned how to bleed I'm turning my world around
Can I be happy now Can I break free somehow I just wanna live again Love again Take my pride off off of the ground
I'm ready to pick a fight Crawl out of the dark to shine a light I ain't throwing stones, got sins of my own [...] everybody just trying to find their way home
Can I be happy now? Can I let my breath out Let me believe I'm building a dream Don't try to drag me down
I just wanna scream out loud Can I be happy now? Went down on my knees I learned how to bleed I'm turning my world around
You're born and you die, and [...] I ain't looking back, 'cause I don't wanna miss it You better live now Cause noone's gonna get out alive - alive
Can I be happy now? Can I let my breath out Let me believe I'm building a dream Don't try to drag me down
I just wanna scream out loud Can I be happy now? Went down on my knees I learned how to bleed I'm turning my world around
Can I be happy now? - [oohoohooh] I'm turning my world around
