Just A Little Less Than Happy

Nobody ever notices the hurt that I feel.
I guess it's my fault 'cuz I hide behind a smile.
New problems arrive, new stresses, new strifes.
Haven't laughed a real laugh in a long long while.

My tears? Yeah they fall. The fall all the time.
Sometimes that's how I ever get to sleep.
I just lay down, and start thinking about life,
Next thing you know...I begin to weep.

My friends? Yeah they're there. Actually all the time.
They ask me what's wrong and how I feel,
But every single time I just lie to them.
I guess I just don't know what is real.

I'll try to figure out these feelings,
And maybe I will finally find happiness,
But until then, my friends
I'm still that same troubled girl with just a little less than happiness.
