Passion Pit – It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sorry I couldn’t be there
I was tied to a rocking chair
I was beat down to a pulp
Rocking back and forth somewhere
If you knew, if you saw
You'd have said it was the final straw
That my life was bound in terror
On a porch by the shore
But there is no
Easy way to tell one so
The things you know and
Run, when they say they think they know exactly so
[Hook]
It’s alright, it’s alright
Am I the only one who see us fine?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bouncers don’t deserve to care?
But it’s enough just to know that we don’t stand a chance
So long as they're around you're just another song and dance
It’s not fair, it’s not fair, it’s not fair
Still I’m the only one who seems to care
[Verse 2]
It’s funny being funny
Makes you feel like up and running
When your past lingers like rain clouds
Casting shadows below
I could live with so many burns
I'll take all your hope and yearning
But there's no way I can take me
For their petty little woes
I used to glow
Once I had a love to show
A love they know
But they’re slow
So slow that they never know
Where I go
[Hook]
[Bridge]
I know that it’s only something
I’m just working with what I’ve been given
It’s not my fault, I’m happy
Don’t call me crazy, I’m happy
[Hook]
Sorry I couldn’t be there
I was tied to a rocking chair
I was beat down to a pulp
Rocking back and forth somewhere
If you knew, if you saw
You'd have said it was the final straw
That my life was bound in terror
On a porch by the shore
But there is no
Easy way to tell one so
The things you know and
Run, when they say they think they know exactly so
[Hook]
It’s alright, it’s alright
Am I the only one who see us fine?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bouncers don’t deserve to care?
But it’s enough just to know that we don’t stand a chance
So long as they're around you're just another song and dance
It’s not fair, it’s not fair, it’s not fair
Still I’m the only one who seems to care
[Verse 2]
It’s funny being funny
Makes you feel like up and running
When your past lingers like rain clouds
Casting shadows below
I could live with so many burns
I'll take all your hope and yearning
But there's no way I can take me
For their petty little woes
I used to glow
Once I had a love to show
A love they know
But they’re slow
So slow that they never know
Where I go
[Hook]
[Bridge]
I know that it’s only something
I’m just working with what I’ve been given
It’s not my fault, I’m happy
Don’t call me crazy, I’m happy
[Hook]
