lyrics

Keep your chin up
Things will turn around
Any minute
You look worse with a frown
I know you mean well
But you’re not helping anything
Makes me feel like you’re not listening

You oughta know
That I just needed a shoulder
Must have misunderstood what I meant
You’re always lifting me up
It’s really bringing me down
I don’t need saving when I’m trying to vent


I just wanna be sad
Sit here crying on the couch all day
I don’t need you to tell me everything is gonna be ok
If I gotta feeling
Oh, I’m gonna feel it
Sometimes being happy is a bad thing
If you don’t mean it


It’s been a long year
All alone here
Getting sick of myself
All your upbeat affirmations
Are bad for my health


You oughta know
That I just needed a shoulder
Must have misunderstood what I meant
You’re always lifting me up
It’s really bringing me down
I don’t need saving when I’m trying to vent



I just wanna be sad
Sit here crying on the couch all day
I don’t need you to tell me everything is gonna be ok
If I gotta feeling
Oh, I’m gonna feel it
Sometimes being happy is a bad thing
If you don’t mean it
Oh sometimes being happy
Is a bad thing

When I just wanna be sad
Sit here crying on the couch all day
I don’t need you to tell me everything is gonna be ok
If I gotta feeling
Oh, I’m gonna feel it
Sometimes being happy is a bad thing
If you don’t mean it
Sometimes being happy is a bad thing
If you don’t mean it
Sometimes being happy is a bad thing
If you don’t mean it

about

Emily Anderson Fairbanks, Alaska

Like stumbling into a rose garden on a trek through the arctic, listeners of Emily’s music find themselves helplessly lifted into a world so hauntingly familiar, and yet so enchantingly curious. With a voice of untouchable purity and lyricism of remarkable wit and poignancy, Emily cradles matters of the human heart with an almost impossible sweetness. ... more
