Story Behind The Song
Written about my own personal experiences. All things written in the song are true. How could you not write a song about your mom's heartfelt willingness to help you date online? I don't think we can really love someone appropriately until we are happy to be ourselves. I love where I'm at.
Song Description
This poses the question, is it unhealthy to be happy with one's self at all times; even outside of a romantic relationship?

Lyrics
Candles are burning low
A pool of what once was now lies below
I'm alone again
I like the way I'm living, I like the way I'm living
My mother's ready to pay
For me to go on an online date
She says, "Dear I know it ain't easy."
"Let me sign the cheque let me help you baby,"
"Let me help you baby."
I get the feeling I'm supposed to be sad
I get the feeling I should be wishing for what I don't have
I get the feeling, I'm supposed to be lonely
And if I'm not, is there something wrong with me?
I said is there something wrong with me?
If I happen, I happen to be happy?
If I happen I happen to be happy?
Should I wish I was empty?
Should I sit on your couch for therapy?
Should I be looking through the classifides to find an equally desperate guy?
Is there something wrong with me?
If I happen, I happen to be happy?
Oh, you might say, it aint true
Some might say,"Good for her, she's got no co-dependancy issues."
Meanwhile I get the feeling that I'm supposed to be lonely
And if I'm not is there something wrong with me?
I said is there something wrong with me?
If I happen I happen to be happy?
I said is there something wrong with me?
If I happen, I happen to be happy?
Cause happy seems to be an anomoly
But I happen, I happen to be happy
