Being hurt but not dwelling on it, and instead choosing happiness.

Lyrics
How did I get here?
Losing myself in fear
Do I know how I am?
I know who I am
How could I let them win?
They talk like they know where I've been
Do they know who I am?
I know who I am
Take these shades off of my eyes and shine
All of the light inside
We could be delightful
I can't believe the world is all scary
What if we were delightful?
How could you drag me down?
Step on me to lift you up
And now I'm losing sleep
Over my happiness you keep
Do you know who you are?
Take these shades off of my eyes and shine
All of the light inside
We could be delightful
I can't believe the world is all crazy
What if we were delightful?
The more I hurt, I'm vanishing
My mind breeds negativity
The more I care what people think, the more I'm diminishing
But we could be, oh we could be
We could be delightful
Take these shades off of my eyes and shine
All of your light inside
We could be delightful
I can't believe the world is all scary
What if we were delightful?
We could be delightful
