2nd Verse
It’s really not so bad at all
There’s so much farther left to fall
On every sunny day
You bring the rain to me
So I let you drown just a little bit
‘Cause I know that you can handle it
One day the undertow
Ain’t gonna let you go
Such a tragedy
Chorus
‘Cause happiness is overrated
I need something to complicate it
And you never let me down
No you never let me down
You don’t need an invitation
You always crash the celebration
Yeah you never let me down
No you never let me down
