(I'm scared of happy)
(I'm scared it's not gonna last)
(Ooh, I'm scared of happy)
(Every good thing feels like the past)

It's too good, isn't it?
Tell me I'm not dreaming again
I keep waiting for the moment
When the good turns into pain
What the hell is wrong with me?
Why can't I just let myself breathe?
I was never used to someone
Making me feel safe so easily
Ooh

You came like a warm summer rain
Washing all my worries away
But every time I start to smile
I get scared it'll disappear someday

I'm scared of happy
'Cause what if you don't stay?
What if everything I love
Gets taken away?
I'm scared of happy
I don't know how to believe
That something this beautiful
Could really happen to me
And yes, I want you
But I'm terrified
Ooh, I'm scared of happy tonight

Sleepless nights
Wondering when the feeling will fade
I keep looking for a reason
To be scared of being okay
Maybe I should just move forward
Stop expecting things to fall
I didn't know how to hold something good
Without being afraid of losing it all
(I finally found something real, so why am I scared?)
(I finally feel loved, but I'm waiting for the end)

Maybe I should let you love me
Maybe I should let myself stay
I don't wanna run from something
Just because I'm scared of yesterday
(I'm learning that happiness doesn't have to hurt)

You made me smile like the first day of spring
Ooh
And somehow you made me believe
That maybe good things can stay

I'm scared of happy
'Cause what if you don't stay?
What if everything I love
Gets taken away?
I'm scared of happy
I don't know how to believe
That something this beautiful
Could really happen to me
And yes, I want you
But I'm terrified
Ooh, I'm scared of happy tonight

I'm still remembering
The first time you made me smile
And for a little while
I forgot to be afraid
Ooh

I fall apart when everything gets quiet
I start thinking of all the things I've lost
I know I can't control tomorrow
But I'm tired of counting every cost
I want you
I want this
I want to let myself be happy
I don't want to run
I swear I don't want to run
But there's a voice inside my head
Saying, don't get too comfortable
And every time you hold my hand
I wonder when you'll let it go
Why is happiness so frightening?
Is this what love is supposed to feel like?

I'm scared of happy
'Cause what if you don't stay?
What if everything I love
Gets taken away?
I'm scared of happy
But I'm learning to believe
That something this beautiful
Could really happen to me
And yes, I want you
And I'm done hiding
Maybe I don't have to be afraid
Of finally being happy
Ooh, I'm scared of happy
But I'm staying anyway
Ooh, I'm scared of happy
But maybe that's okay

I'm scared of happy
I'm scared, but I'm here
I'm scared of happy
But I'm letting you near
Ooh
Maybe happiness can stay
Maybe happiness can stay
