I was free when I was young

Everything made me happy 

I had no obligations 

and then I got older 

and I was criticized 

and judged 

and told my dreams weren't the right dreams 

that the accomplishments I had made were because of her not me 

that happiness doesn't matter if you don't make the right choice 

And I realized that I was no longer young and 

she wasn't always right 

Happiness Matters 

because it's why life is worth living.
