[Verse 1]
Last night I bought a lie
I saw an ad online
All these smiling people had it figured out
If I could be someone else
Someone beside myself
I might have a little less to cry about

[Chorus]
I'm on the other side of the glass
Looking at the life they have
Ain't it so much better
It's always easier to believe
It's easy for them to be
Happy or whatever

[Verse 2]
I'm feeling all alone
My sister movеd back home
All she talks about now is her brand nеw job
And her fancy MBA
Her lawyer fiancé
I'm the jerk for wishing she would just stop

[Chorus]
I'm on the other side of the glass
Looking at the life they have
Ain't it so much better
It's always easier to believe
It's easy for them to be
Happy or whatever
They're happy or whatever (Ooh)
Happy or whatever (Ooh)
Happy or whatever (Ooh)
Happy or whatever (Ooh)
[Bridge]
Why do I do this?
Play a game I keep losing
It's all so elusive
The closer I get, the target keeps moving

[Verse 3]
I had a photograph
Where I thought I'd be by now
I don't even recognize the girl in the frame
So I think I'll rip it up
Yeah, I think she's had enough
She might even be proud of who I am today
Maybe I have all that I need
To be happier than ever

[Outro]
I'm happy or whatever
I'm happy
Or whatever
(Ooh, ooh)
I'm happy or whatever (Ooh)
Happy or whatever (Ooh)
I'm happy or whatever (Ooh)
I'm happy or whatever (Ooh)
I'm happy or whatever (Ooh)
I'm happy or whatever
