[English]

Hey, don't kiss in front of me, it makes me sick

I'm not bitter, well, maybe a little bit

I'd sniff glitter if it'd help me feel something real

And if it was my birthday, I'd make a wish

To not be bitter, 'cause I'm getting sick of this

I'd skip dinner if it'd help me feel something real

And sometimes I think I kill relationships for art

I start up all this shit to watch 'em fall apart

I pay my bills with it, I watch 'em fall apart

Then pay the price for it, I watch 'em fall apart, but

Oh, I just wanna be fucking happy, oh, oh, oh

Oh, I just wanna be fucking happy, yeah

I'm sending out texts at 4 a.m.

I'm not desperate, I just want somebody's skin

In my denim, 'cause it helps me feel something (oh, oh)

And sometimes I think I kill relationships for art

I start up all this shit to watch 'em fall apart

I pay my bills with it, I watch 'em fall apart

Then pay the price for it, I watch 'em fall apart, but

Oh, I just wanna be fucking happy, oh, oh, oh

Oh, I just wanna be fucking happy, yeah

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh, I just wanna be fucking happy

And sometimes I think I kill relationships for art

I start up all this shit to watch 'em fall apart

I pay my bills with it, I watch 'em fall apart

Then pay the price for it, I watch 'em fall apart

Oh, I just wanna be fucking happy, oh, oh, oh

Oh, I just wanna be fucking happy, yeah, yeah

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh (I just wanna be, oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh (I just wanna be happy)

I just wanna be happy

I just wanna be happy

I just wanna be happy

I just wanna be-
