Happiness is my less traveled road
And it isn't going through all the places I thought it would
Got a song and a smile and a lighter load
After dumping in the river every must and every should
Now I know I won’t fall apart
Even though life could break my heart
R/
Took me long enough already
But I'm learning how not to try
To be perfect
And it's taken too long already
But I'm learning how to cry
Learning how not to try to be
Better than me

Felt like a dancing pony in a traveling show
There were so many days when I just wanted to play outside
Every summit I reached, another line to toe
Had to give myself permission to just live before I died
Now I know I won’t fall apart
Every ending is another start

Bridge:
I don’t want my birds in cages
I would rather see them fly
Even though I know it always means
I have to say goodbye
