Lyrics
(Intro)
How… much… is happiness?
Tell me honestly…
Verse 1
I never counted what it costs
Traded hours for what I lost
My paycheck bought a brand-new fear
And sleepless nights I held so near
I looked for it in shop windows bright
On flights alone through the quiet night
In strangers’ beds I chased the calm
Bought silence, then it scared my palms
Chorus
How much is happiness, if the price can’t be named?
Maybe we just need to stop chasing the flame
Happiness is someone, you don’t have to pretend
Somewhere you can cry, and still breathe again
Verse 2
It’s not in books, it’s what I see
Mom frying fries quietly
Family nearby, the comfort’s real
And friends who call when nights won’t heal
They don’t ask who’s right or wrong
They just drive miles to bring you home
Happiness isn’t sold or bought
It’s every little caring thought
Chorus
How much is happiness, if the price can’t be named?
Maybe we just need to stop chasing the flame
Happiness is someone, you can’t lie to at all
Even when shame weighs heavy, they just hold you, don’t fall
Bridge
Maybe happiness is morning
When you don’t have to go anywhere
Your sweater tossed across the chair
And someone’s warm hand in the air
Maybe happiness is fleeting
Five-minute calls that feel like forever
A whispered voice, soft and beating:
“I’m already on my way to you” (hey)
Final Chorus
How much is happiness? I’m taking it now
No conditions, no “if,” no one to bow
How much is happiness? I’m paying with me
And for the first time ever, I choose to be free
(Outro)
Happiness… inside… inside… inside…
