Halfway Happy (半喜半忧)

This is for anyone who is currently in a state between joy and sadness. There are things to grieve, and there are things to celebrate. Our emotions are not linear and you can feel multiple at the same time.

V1:
Last night,
I saw a glow in the sky,
But they say it’s a dying star
Big eyes,
I wanted to find
Somebody to share it with and

Pre:
I’ve had worse days

Chorus:
I’m Halfway Happy
It’s like winning a fight cause you thought you were right
But deep down no one’s happy
It’s like your dream apartment but when you walk in no one’s there
I’ve spent many nights trying to justify,
Why I’m always stuck in the in-between feeling
Halfway happy

V2:
That my friends are
Tying the knot
While I’m not but the pressure’s
Getting heavy
They say I’ll know (la la la sol) when I’m ready

Pre:
I’ve had worse days

Chorus:
I’m Halfway Happy
It’s like winning a fight cause you thought you were right
But deep down no one’s happy
It’s like your dream apartment but when you walk in no one’s there
I’ve spent many nights trying to justify,
Why I’m always stuck in the in-between feeling
Halfway happy

Bridge:
Halfway
Halfway
Am I getting close to happy?
Halfway
Halfway
Am I getting close to happy?

I’ve been sitting with myself for a while now,
Trying to figure out what’s bringing me down
I’ve been sitting with myself for a while now,
Trying to figure out what’s bringing me down

I’m Halfway Happy
It’s like winning a fight cause you thought you were right
But deep down no one’s happy
It’s like your dream apartment but when you walk in no one’s there
I’ve spent many nights trying to justify,
Why I’m always stuck in the in-between feeling
Halfway happy

I’ve been siting with myself for a while now,
Trying to figure out what’s bringing me down.
So I’m shutting myself off,
I cover my eyes,
Bury my head and live underground.
I can’t escape this feeling,
And there must be a reason,
I’m halfway happy.
