Happiness Is an Option - Pet Shop Boys

It is not easy

it is not easy

Looking from a window

At the edge of a house

At the edge of a town

Its 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 want me not to But I still went through it

(living it upside, you gotta remember, that happiness is an option)

it is not easy

but dont give up now

(so dont give up)

it is not easy

happiness is an option

(but happiness is an option)

Needed somewhere to clear my head

Find some strength a warmer bed

Maximum love in a minimal world

Id never achieved it But then I believed it So when I lost it — how

Im not sure — now

It was a strange feeling

Like a law repealing itself

it is not easy

but dont give up now

(so dont give up)

it is not easy

happiness is an option

(but happiness is an option)

it is not easy

but dont give up now

(so dont give up)

it is not easy

happiness is an option

(giving it up, if you are giving it up, if you are giving it up)

I can wake up in the morning

And not believe what I see

Look in a mirror and think

If thats really me I dont think I suit my face

Its not a catastrophe

Its more a philosophy

Like the russians wondering why

Were born under a blue sky

But die in a dark forest

it is not easy

but dont give up now

(so dont give up)

it is not easy

happiness is an option

(but happiness is an option)

it is not easy

but dont give up now

(so dont give up)

it is not easy

happiness is an option

(but happiness is an option)

This is neither old nor new

Its 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 dont need to win

You dont have to loose

We can choose

Happiness is an option

(you can choose)

it is not easy

but dont give up now

(so dont give up)

it is not easy

happiness is an option

(chris: happiness is an option)

It is not easy

(no, it is not easy)

The war within us

(so war within us)

(so dont give up)

But it gets easier

(but it gets easier)

The more we learn

(the more we learn)

I dont need to win

(I dont need to win)

You dont have to loose

(you dont have to loose)

So dont give up We can choose

Happiness is an option

(happiness is an option)

(chris: happiness is an option)

it is not easy

(no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)

but dont give up now

(dont give up now)

(so dont give up)

it is not easy

(it is not easy)

happiness is an option

(happiness is an option)

(if you are giving it up, if you are giving it up)

you dont have to loose

(you dont have to loose)

(if you are giving it up, you gotta remember)

we can choose happiness is an option

(we can choose happiness is an option)
