[Verse 1]
I started thinking I should open my mouth and
Let the words out, yeah
Let the words out, yeah
I know they'll happen if I only allow them
They'll come as a crowd, yeah
Out as a crowd, yeah

[Chorus]
Dear happy, don't go
Not there, but I'm close
I just always thought I'd never win
Dear happy, you see
It's not easy for me
But I know that I'm close
'Cause I feel
That it's here for us
And it's real
It's real for us, mm

[Verse 2]
Don't you worry, oh no, don't be alarmed
I'm just working it out here, working it out here
I'm somebody with a recovering heart
You've waited there for me
Keep waiting there for me
[Chorus]
Dear happy, don't go
Not there, but I'm close
I just always thought I'd never win
Dear happy, you see
It's not easy for me
But I know that I'm close
'Cause I feel
That it's here for us
And it's real
And it's real for us

[Breakdown]
Ooh, oh
And it's real for us, ooh, ooh

[Outro]
Dear happy, don't go
Not there, but I'm close
I just always thought I'd never win
Dear happy, you see
It's not easy for me
But I'm closer than I've ever been
