Pet Shop Boys - Happiness is an Option lyrics

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 warned me not to but
I still went through it even in a song
You gotta remember that happiness
Is an option

It is not easy but don't give up now
So don't give up it is not easy
Happiness is an option
That 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 law repealing it'self

It is not easy but don't give up now
So don't give up it is not easy
Happiness is an option
That happiness is an option it is not easy
But don't give up now so don't give up
It is not easy happiness is an option
Giving it up, you feel like giving it up

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
So don't give up it is not easy
Happiness is an option
Happiness is an option it is not easy
But don't give up now so don't give up
It is not easy happiness is an option
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
So don't give up it is not easy
Happiness is an option
Happiness is an option it is not easy
No, not easy the war within us
The war within us but it gets easier
Easier the more we learn
The more we learn i don't need to win
I don't need to win, now
You don't have to lose
You don't have to lose we can choose
Happiness is an option

It is not easy but don't give up now
So don't give up it is not easy
Happiness is an option
Happiness is an option i don't need to win
I don't need to win, now
You don't have to lose
You don't have to lose we can choose
Happiness is an option
