## Lyrics

Sometimes I don't wanna be happy

Don't hold it against me

If I'm down just leave me there

Let me be sad

Sun's up, I already wanna lay down

Friends calling, are you really tryna go out? (No)

Don't wanna get dressed up to pretend (no)

I can lie and say I'm fine

Maybe you'll stop calling then

I've got chips on my shoulder

Only getting older

So I keep to myself

Ain't tryna complain

Just don't wanna explain it

But sometimes I don't wanna be happy

Don't hold it against me

If I'm down just leave me there

Let me be sad

Sometimes I just wanna be lonely

Don't need you to hold me

If I'm low you don't need to care

Let me be sad

What's the matter with that? (Oh oh oh)

What's the matter with that? (Oh oh oh)

What's the matter with

Bad days, it's okay, let me feel it (uh-huh, uh-huh)

And some days you've got to break your heart to heal it (heal it)

I know I'm gonna feel this way again

I can lie and say I'm fine

But that wouldn't change anything

I've got chips on my shoulder

Only getting older

So I keep to myself

Ain't tryna complain

Just don't wanna explain it

But sometimes I don't wanna be happy

Don't hold it against me

If I'm down just leave me there

Let me be sad

Sometimes I just wanna be lonely

Don't need you to hold me

If I'm low you don't need to care

Let me be sad

What's the matter with that? (Oh oh oh)

What's the matter with that? (Oh oh oh)

What's the matter with sadness

Making me feel the way I feel right now

Goodness

Can't force you when you feel fucked up

It's the salt that's on my tongue

It's the salt that's on my tongue

But sometimes I don't wanna be happy

Don't hold it against me

If I'm down just leave me there

Let me be sad

Sometimes I just wanna be lonely

Don't need you to hold me

If I'm low you don't need to care

Let me be sad

What's the matter with that? (Oh oh oh)

What's the matter with that? (Oh oh oh)

Just let me be sad
