Deaf Havana - Happiness Lyrics






I've been dragging out my love over 13 months right now
It's been a year of not believing who I've found
I've been trying out this thing they call happiness for a while
But I never truly cleared my cluttered mind

Because I knew that you'd get sick of all the stupid things I did
And how I never think far enough ahead
'Cause my drinking takes its toll on everybody around me, especially you
It's like a degenerate disease

Because it eats away at everything
But mostly love
And the strength we build between us
And all the time it takes to build the trust right back up
Isn't worth a single drop or glass or anything
And I don't want anything

I've got a liver full of toxins and belly full of fire
And a tendency to lose myself for a while
'Cause all the countless nights I spent cowering in bed
'Cause I can't fight the voice that rings inside my head

Because it eats away at everything
But mostly love
And strength we build between us
And all the time it takes to build the trust right back up
Isn't worth a single drop or glass or anything
And I don't want anything, but you

Because it eats away at everything
But mostly love
And the strength we build between us
And all the time it takes to build the trust right back up
Isn't worth a single drop or glass or anything
I don't want anything

Because it eats away at everything
But mostly love
And the strength we build between us
And all the time it takes to build the trust right back up
Isn't worth a single drop or glass or anything
And I don't want anything, but you

    Came here after I heard this song on Spotify.. The Music is awestruck

  2. w.... ....

    I’m new to this band so I’d like to know which one of em had a drinking problem or dealt with a loved one who was alcoholic coz this whole album is too real for it to just be something they wrote without experiencing

  3. S.... F....

    An absolute masterpiece. The lyrics are just so true to life, the melody rips your heart out and the tears flow. I love these guys

    I've never heard of them until last month when i was on a flight to Thailand listening to songs randomly from the tablet on my seat and this song came along. I've been listening to Deaf Havana ever since. Such an emotional song.. Love it

  8. A.... ....

    "I've been trying out this thing they call happiness for a while, but I've never truly cleared my clutter mind" - My favorite lyric ever.

  9. T.... ....

  10. G.... I....

    I never understood how such a great band ( compared to all the shit that comes out everyday) don't even reach at least a million views ok thid kind of song ....

  20. t.... ....

    lovely melody. fantastic

  21. B.... B....

  24. T.... H....

    EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS PERFECT. AMAZING JOB GUYS.

  25. N.... A....

    Just under 150000 views. Nobody has good taste in good music nowadays that's why .

  26. D.... M....

    To me Tuesday people is about being in the grips of depression and this song is about recovery and realizing all the destructive things you did and how you can atone for it.

  27. M.... ....

    I am divorcing my wife because of alcohol. I lost her to alcohol after 6 years of battling. One day you'll win James.

  28. L.... C....

    Possibly my favourite song of all time, so underrated

  29. B.... D....

    I saw chapman guitars on facebook shared a picture of them with their guitars and it brought me here. man this is so good. Underrated, full of passion and emotion.

  30. p.... f....

  31. R.... R....

    Everyone sounds like Ed sheeran or is that just me 😂

  36. T.... ....

    I've not been keeping up with Deaf Havana much since Old Souls and damn they've only gone and got better

  37. J.... ....

    Wow!! Not many bands these days know how to make a good rock album anymore. You guys give me hope!!! One of my best discoveries this year!

  38. a.... z....

    meraviglioso

  39. v.... s....

    i miss the second album, u know, in desperates needs of adventure was the real thing

  40. M.... ....

    Oh..wow i love this Song😃

  41. 1.... ....

    Reminds me of Hunstanton Pier 2.0. Solid. Well done boys.

  42. E.... ....

    they are simply incredible

  43. k.... ....

    This song is hands down the most beautiful song I have ever heard. I can feel every little emotion and it means everything to me. I can relate to the emotions that it makes me feel and overall this song is breathtaking. you guys deserve much more recognition <3

  44. i.... ....

    I've been listening to your first two albums almost everyday since I found you all a few years back. Now I found this. I swear, you guys are something special. Thank you for all of your songs, you helped rebuild a lost soul. Thank you.

  45. p.... t....

    le son nous emmène dans la mélancolie, puis l'espoir et le titre est happiness... paradoxal mais terriblement efficace. ils nous capturent et nous emportent ! ils sont forts

  46. J.... K....

    Absolutely fucking brilliant

  47. a.... m....

    If anyone can recommend a band with songs similar to this one, I'd appreciate it.

    a.... m....

    One Direction

    a.... m....

    Mallory knox maybe

    a.... m....

    Kodaline?

  48. S.... k....

    I love how all of the videos of the songs on the album are heavily featured around the album art and the girl holding the flare. This band is so underrated. The new album is just amazing. And I have to say, the presentation of the deluxe edition is incredible. They even put three more pages of photos in for the lyrics of the bonus tracks. Now *that* is dedication.

  49. 8.... ....

    Is it me or do all their songs sound the same.

    8.... ....

    81colinzeal It's you

  50. N.... R....

    I will never stop loving this band passionately 🔥

  51. S.... T....

    Am a big fan of deaf havana when u hear the lyrics carefully of this song it really mean something

  52. s.... ....

    pensacola 2013 is the best song on the album

  53. B.... W....

    This song honestly makes me feel so many different emotions. Well done boys, this is an impeccable song with clever lyrics and beautiful instrumentation 🌝💚

  54. A.... A....

    Reminds me one direction.. good old days ☹️

    A.... A....

    Alya Al Ali I love both bands but there the polar opposite😂

  55. T.... ....

    Who the heck dislikes this beauty? Go back to your Justin Beiber or any freakin mainstream shit pop song. Honestly. Thanks Deaf Havana, though :)

    T.... ....

    You know nothing, @81coilnzeal . no Justin B fan will ever get to know this band cuz of their lack of knowledge in everything, mainstream supporters will keep on listening to the same pop-sound/brainwashing shit on the radio (as it has always been), and Deaf Havana did not sign any contracts to make millions. They make music to make you feel something. They are artists.

    T.... ....

    Having worked and continue to work in the industry I know more than you pigeon.

    T.... ....

    Well, good for you, I just don't care and probably no one does. Go back and mind your own business instead of making yourself a big man here, badmouthing great lyrics and comments. Btw, I like pigeons, they might be dirty in some way, but can shit on people. Just like I do on your comments.

    T.... ....

    actually ive dislike this cuz i miss the old deadf havana, i'll never get used to it. every time they came with a new song i'm here, praying for the old style.

    T.... ....

    vitor santis They have a new lead singer of course they're obviously gonna sound different. And this new music is good and probably just as good as their old music

  56. J.... ....

    sooo deep. this is something awesome

  57. C.... P....

    I love your music a lot :o)..

  58. l.... s....

    😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  59. A.... J....

    beaufiful. flawless. perfect. stunning. awesome. 10/10.

  60. W.... G....

    Hey everyone by the way I know the singer his name is Rory, he is my uncles best friend and I would just like to say this to Rory Hi this is Eloise Mundy you mite remember me and I really miss you so much and I hope I can see you again soon.

    W.... G....

    Wolf Girl the singer is called James....

    W.... G....

  61. J.... ....

    This is fucking beautiful! See you boys in November!

  62. S.... ....

    Man I wish more people knew about this band . Their songs are really great

  63. J.... O....

    love this song! dislike the video for looking like a bunch of screensavers.

  64. E.... T....

    106 people need to stop listening to music altogether if they dislike this song

  65. M.... H....

    Oh dios !!! Vinieron a México a grabar !!!! >//////< woooo los amo !!!

  87. A.... F....

    I love you guys... your music is my life

  88. P.... O....

    criminally underrated, undervalued, overlooked bands. deserve the breakthrough into the mainstream with this track. Here's hoping ❤

  89. 1.... ....

    The way this video ties the meaning of the song into the storyline of the last 3 videos (Sing, Trigger, Fever) is amazing. Beautiful imagery, so much emotion, amazing song. Deaf Havana are too underrated & James Veck-Gilodi is a phenomenal songwriter!

  90. �.... ....

    Never fail to impress lads, thank-you for sticking together and releasing yet another amazing album

    �.... ....

    크러쉬 the fact you’re a kpop and deaf Havana fan like me really got me emotional

  91. a.... g....

    liked the song before even the song began! that's called trust in a band!

  92. N.... T....

    most underrated band in the world! absolutely sublime.

    N.... T....

    Nick THFC finally someone agrees with me!!

    N.... T....

    Definitely. Awesome band.

  93. T.... ....

    Incredible boys

  94. J.... C....

    This is such a beautifully deep song and means so much to me personally. Keep it up boys

  95. m.... u....

    I cried. the emotion flowing through this song; it just means so much to me. as simple as this video is, this is how much it is perfect for this song.

    m.... u....

    music.saves. us. It really is the most perfect video for this song. The sunrise in the first chorus ❤️😍

  96. S.... S....

    Boys, you're killing it. I truly believe this is your best album to date. I really enjoy listening to how you have grown as a band since "Nicotine and Alcohol Saved my Life" which is my all time favorite song by you guys. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for not breaking up or anything. You rock my socks!!

    S.... S....

    Scuba Stevie couldn't agree with this more
