**[Verse 1]**

Me and all my friends are sad

Don't know how we got like that

Diamonds rolling down our cheeks

It's the new reality

I got fake plants in my yard (In my yard)

You would never think they are (But they are)

Live life in a green screen

Caught up in insecurities

**[Pre-Chorus]**

We hate to think about the good times that we missed out on while staying in

I'm so tired of all the overthinking

Tired of the self-doubt, I'm wondering

**[Chorus]**

Is there a shortcut to stay happy? (Ooh)

Is there a way for someone like me? (Ooh)

'Cause I'm running out of life hacks, life hacks

I just wanna have my glow back

Is there a shortcut to stay happy? (Happy)

Any tutorial that I could see? (Ooh)

'Cause I'm running out of life hacks, life hacks

I just wanna have my life back, life back

**[Verse 2]**

My mirror says, "I don't know you" (I don't know you)

I say, "I don't know me too" (Don't know me too)

Smiling though my teeth are clenched

Making new fair-weather friends

**[Pre-Chorus]**

We hate to think about the good times that we missed out on while staying in

I'm so tired of all the overthinking

Tired of the self-doubt and wondering

**[Chorus]**

Is there a shortcut to stay happy? (Ooh)

Is there a way for someone like me? (Ooh)

'Cause I'm running out of life hacks, life hacks

I just wanna have my glow back

Is there a shortcut to stay happy? (Happy)

Any tutorial that I could see? (Ooh)

'Cause I'm running out of life hacks, life hacks

I just wanna have my life back, life back

**[Bridge]**

Stay (Stay, stay)

Happy (Stay, stay)

Yeah, sometimes I don't know what to do (Stay, stay)

So I was just wondering if you knew

**[Chorus]**

Is there a shortcut to stay happy?

Is there a way for someone like me?

'Cause I'm running out of life hacks, life hacks

I just wanna have my glow back, glow back

Is there a shortcut to stay happy? (Happy)

Any tutorial that I could see? (Ooh)

'Cause I'm running out of life hacks, life hacks

I just wanna have my life back

**[Verse 1]**

¿Por qué estamos tan tristes?

¿Cómo nos hemos vuelto grises?

Diamantes caen de nuestros ojos

Esto es la nueva realidad

Plantas falsas en mi jardín (En mi jardín)

Pero parecen de verdad (De verdad)

Mi vida en pantalla verde

Atrapada en inseguridad

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Todos esos tiempos buenos

Que nos hemos perdido por no salir

Cansada de pensar demasiado

Cansada de dudar, quiero sentir

**[Chorus]**

¿Quién sabe como ser feliz?

¿Algún atajo para mi?

Ya he probado cada truco, truco

Quiero volver a sonreír

¿Quién sabe como ser feliz?

Algún tutorial que podría ver

Ya he probado cada truco, truco

Quiero volver a ser feliz

**[Verse 3]**

Mi espejo pregunta "¿y quién eres tú?"

(¿Quién eres tu?)

Pues yo tampoco no lo sé

(Yo no lo sé)

Mi risa me la he pintado

Amigos de buen tiempo a mi lado

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Todos esos tiempos buenos

Que nos hemos perdido por no salir

Cansada de pensar demasiado

Cansada de dudar, quero sentir

**[Chorus]**

¿Quién sabe como ser feliz?

¿Algún atajo para mi?

Ya he probado cada truco, truco

Quiero volver a sonreír

¿Quién sabe como ser feliz?

Algún tutorial que podría ver

Ya he probado cada truco, truco

Quiero volver a ser feliz, feliz

**[Refrain]**

Aah, stay, stay

Happy, stay, stay

**[Bridge]**

Pues a veces yo no se ni que hacer

Me pregunte si tú me puedes ayudar

**[Chorus]**

¿Quién sabe como ser feliz?

¿Algún atajo para mi?

Ya he probado cada truco, truco

Quiero volver a sonreír

¿Quién sabe como ser feliz?

Algún tutorial que podría ver

Ya he probado cada truco, truco

Quiero volver a ser feliz, feliz
