lyrics

The trouble with life is
It gets in the way
What else can I say?
Some things never change

What you're doing
and what you wanna do
are two different things
you don't always get to choose

The trouble with living is
forgetting to live
To do it all again,
Oh what I wouldn't give

Take it back, oh,
I wouldn't make a change
Mistakes are for making
There's no need to rearrange

I'm not saying that it hasn't been hard
There are days that remind me of my lucky stars

So don't, don't you ever compromise your happiness

The trouble with an excuse
is that it's easy to make
Blindfold your conscience
Walk and talk like a fake

Slap yourself for thinking
You can live your life this way
A man can make it to a hundred
But never live a single day

I'm not saying that it hasn't been hard
There are days that remind me of my lucky stars

So don't, don't you ever compromise your happiness

The trouble with the world
is that it's so blind to see
The people who seem crazy
Just the ones who wanna be

Well I'm no shining example
of society
But I'm smiling cause i'm smiling
There ain't nothing wrong with me
Nothing wrong with me

So don't, don't you ever compromise your happiness
