[Verse 1]
Thought I'd be 50 and still alone chain smoking cigarettes
At a bar talking sh*t about my married friends to my single friends
Thought I'd still be angry and my mom moved 2000 miles away
Live in sin, waste my education out of spite
[Pre-Chorus]
But could this be real, could this be real
Could I be falling in love
Could I be growing up
{Chorus]
Oh, my, my
I could cry and cry and cry
No I've never been this happy in my life
Oh, my, my
I could cry and cry and cry
No I've never been this happy in my life
What a life, what a life, what a life, what a life
What a life, what a life, what a life, what a life
[Verse 2]
Thought I had to be tortured inside to make great art
'Cause if I was happy I'd lose my edge and not have anything deep to say
I thought I'd end up selling my songs to shiny pop stars with millions of followers
'Cause who would wanna see someone like me
Singin' about me
In hotel lobbies
[Chorus]
Oh, my, my
I could cry and cry and cry
No I've never been this happy in my life
Oh, my, my
I could cry and cry and cry
No I've never been this happy in my life
What a life, what a life, what a life, what a life
What a life, what a life, what a life, what a life
[Bridge]
And now I'm here, and now I'm here, standing in the sun
Singing my home songs of freedom
What a life, what a life, what a life, what a life
What a life, what a life, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Oh, my, my
I could cry and cry and cry
I've never been this happy in my life
Oh, my, my
I could cry and cry and cry
No I've never been this happy in my life
[Outro]
(Took a little bit of time to see)
(Took a little bravery)
(Took a little bit of soul searching)
(Took a little questioning)
(Took a little bit of time to see) Oh, my, my
(Took a little bravery) I could cry and cry and cry
(Took a little bit of soul searching) I've never been this happy in my life
(Took a little questioning)
