Happiness is an option lyrics

Artist  : Pet shop boys 
Song : Happiness is an option
 

(Tennant/Lowe/Clinton)
-------------------------

It is not easy
It is not easy

Looking from a window
at the back of a house
at the edge of a town
It`s grey
like the day
when I lost it
Clouds overhead
I talked to a flower
that was almost dead
My body a prison
why did I do it?
Someone told me not to
but still went through it

It is not easy
but don`t give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

Needed somewhere to clear
my head
find some strength
a warmer bed
Maximum love in a
minimal world
I`d never achieved it
but then I believed it
so when I lost it - how?
I`m not sure now -
it was a strange feeling
like a paw repealing itself

It is not easy
But don`t give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
But don`t give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

I can wake up in the morning
and not believe what I see
Look in the mirror
And think if that`s really me
I don`t think I suit my face
It`s not a catastrophe
it`s more a philosophy
like the Russians
wondering why
we`re born under a blue sky
but die in a dark forest

It is not easy
but don`t give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
but don`t give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

This is neither old nor new
It`s always, forever
Somewhere between sense
and ambition
pleasure and decision
we have to make a choice
What do we want?
Everyone singing
"War, what is it good for?"
while planning the next one?

I don`t need to win
You don`t have to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option

It is not easy
but don`t give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

It is not easy
the war within us
but it gets easier
the more we learn
I don`t need to win
You don`t need to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option

It is not easy
but don`t give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
I don`t need to win
You don`t need to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option
