Social Repose - I Want To Be Happy Lyrics






I want to be happy
I want to be happy
But how can I be happy
If I don't really like me all that much

Struggling to be relatable
I feel so out of touch
Do I give the people what they want
Or is this just to much
Well focusing on my happiness
Can feel just like a crutch
Cause it comes and goes but mostly goes
When I'm craving human touch

But Richie you should smile more
Watch your health decline, it's such a bore
Stop complaining, they don't watch anymore
When you're the one that closed that door
So keep playing the victim you selfish whore
You're an evil man down to your core
And your flaws are impossible to ignore
When all that pain is sold to those who use
To adore you

She can steal my canvas altogether
Paint her picture in the center
But those feelings cannot linger
When the empress is my mother, still
Can you play another cover
Can you sing my favorite song
Can you pander for another couple minutes
This feels wrong

Can we keep things on the surface level
And stop looking so disheveled
Your peers are watching and they've decided
That you're a shitty role model
I'd say I don't care but I do

I don't think I can do this
I don't know if I can do this anymore
And I'm messed up but good god is this what you bargained for?
How much blood is enough for you?

I want to be happy
I want to be happy
But how can I be happy
If I don't really like me all that much

Social Repose I Want To Be Happy Comments
  1. k.... ....

    This keeps me stable when i was on the edge of suicide. Thank u richie






    But dont cheat lmfao

  2. A.... o....

    I don't give a fuck what people say. I don't care how many times you fuck up. I will be a fan for however much longer I'm alive. You're not going to get the approval of everyone. So fuck them. Your music means everything to me. I understand how you feel completely. I hate myself down to the core. I am nothing but a piece of shit. But I don't see you that way. I don't judge you Richie.

  3. L.... L....

    You have a real talent, Richie when u put ur mind to it, u make beautiful music.

  4. C.... M....

    Write a song all about yourself. With yourself on vocals and all instruments. Also dressed up like a goth native American(also youre white)
    This is pure narcissism.

    STOP whining....

  5. M.... ....

    She can steal my canvas altogether paint her picture in the center, - yeah, that's all you are - empty canvas. At least she can paint :D I have a feeling that lots of comments were deleted over time because your original idea didn't work. And you're wrong - it wasn't too much - it was just shit. And it stinks no matter what you do and how much you try. I wonder, am I getting to you already? Are you taking notes? "Learning" what you did wrong, so you can use it in your songs? A true narcissist can't resist reading a comment about himself. And it's a free material after all... So, here's an idea - you could write a book about a psychopath already, just by copy-pasting most of the comments. Don't delete them - USE them. That's all you can do anyways. Embrace it.

  6. S.... D....

    I want to be happy, I don't know if I could do this anymore by social repose

  7. w.... �....

    Beautiful 🖤 good job Richie

  8. E.... R....

    How about not cheating on your partner or just in general not be a dick??

  9. E.... T....

    Music sucks, you are a grown man wearing makeup. But hey, I gave it a chance. 3 minutes of my life, wasted.

  10. c.... t....

    Don't cheat then m8

  11. R.... F....

    #onemorebootypic

    R.... F....

    Pass it on to spread awarness

  12. E.... W....

    used to

  13. K.... S....

    I wish I could write as well as him holy fuck

  14. R.... H....

    All I can see is about him cheating. Can we please just look at his music and art and not constantly bring up his mistakes? Imagine you are putting your passion online and just being constantly bombarded with stuff that you messed up in your life. I'm not agreeing with what happened but geez let him show his art and instead of saying crap he already knows why not truly pay attention to his art and comment on that?

  15. e.... m....

    like dont cheat and shit'll get better

  16. e.... m....

    We love you. Stop being a dick tho. Ly dont kill meeee

  17. M.... J....

    I like this, I like you, I don't like your actions all so much. But I like you :) learn to like yourself,f it comes in time, I've been there. I promise I gets easier <3

  18. j.... o....

    jesus i love his music but i fucking hate his man

  19. f.... i....

    I know you cheat,it's really wrong. You apologised,that's good. Why are people judging you from your mistakes and wrong doings only? Like what the is this world?! But they have to admit,your songs are pretty good. I'll be there till the end Richie(unless you do something illegal)❤

  20. E.... 6....

    Is everyone thick?? It was depression. He bushed it down so much that he began acting out without thinking about it. Not consciously seeking comfort and love to heal himself. He is playing victim because he is one. When he realises and snaps out of 'the zombie state', he pushes people away in fear of hurting them, but he does not know this because he is a puppet on strings, controlled by depression.

  21. l.... d....

    i just wanted my parents to tell me :"Good job" ...

  22. L.... L....

    Wait.....he was lip syncing! I saw!!! Still has quality content😺

  23. L.... A....

    Emo4life

  24. D.... T....

    Dumb playing victim to get likes booooo

  25. D.... G....

    I really like this song. (cry for help, maybe?) Playing victim or not everyone should really stop throwing stones. We all do shitty stuff. We just don't throw it on YouTube for people like us with our dirty little secret of watching the dramas. Anyway, the song is really good. I dated someone like this guy. It's painful and I understand Jaclyn leaving. I left mine also. But this dudes a cry for help. Even if it seems fake, the thing is we never know. Best of luck to them both. But I love this song and relate to the words. I'd buy the CD. Ps. people should never tell anyone on social media, or face to face, that they should die. It's really uncool. And you will feel like shit about it later in life.
    .

  26. I.... C....

    Wait I don’t think this is what you actually feel.........right? Nahhhhh

  27. s.... w....

    hey bud its ok I love your channel im just a kid so who should I know wut to do but ive been thro this man just forget her well im a girl but just forget her she was very good I think you were better than her :D

  28. E.... D....

    Okay but can we just be honest... HE'S DOING IT TO GET TO HER AND HES DOING IT TO PLAY THE VICTIM. HONESTLY....I used to love watching you and yeah you should be happy but just stop doing this

  29. n.... l....

    it's going to be hard to forgive *and* forget

  30. M.... M....

    Why do people just want to die... Like why... he used to look like a normal guy but now he’s playing dress up for these videos also, did he like tattoo his eyes or some shit

  31. L.... F....

    I love this

  32. A.... B....

    keep the openness. it's real and honest and reachable. i think if you continue how real your more recent original music is even if it's simple, it's beautiful. it doesn't have to be complicated, it doesn't have to be crazy, or shock value. real raw and open is beautiful, it's where some of the absolute best music in the world comes from. think of disturbed's cover of sound of silence, people are strange by the doors. simple touching. those songs are masterpieces. and this style of layered vocals is a pretty iconic towards you and allot of people know you for it, it's not bad. Billy Joe Armstrong said in rolling stones magazine like forever ago something like some of the most best music comes from a depressing place and I know that's not like word for word but I kept that copy of the magazine forever because of that interview. depressing music is healing. it shows just a deeper level of emotion than just telling a story with lyrics. keep up the good work and I'm rooting for you.

  33. t.... q....

    Same though

  34. M.... M....

    so u cheated on jaclyn but you know what you have every right to be mad!!
    1:14
    She took the canvas
    but what will she paint on it?
    You can never harm the hand that draws
    She wont refrain
    And the ink will stain
    And nothing can erase this now.

  35. m.... ....

    Often times when somebody's truly suicidal, they *DON'T* want other people to know, and they don't talk about it. Because if people find out, than that might actually stop them from doing it. committing the act. Social Repose appears to be doing this because he thinks it's a way of receiving affection

  36. L.... R....

    It is really hard to be relatable when you’re a cheating piece of shit!

  37. o.... i....

    My life in a song

  38. !.... ....

    Honestly, the only reason why people are still commenting on shit that happened like 5 months ago, is because he has quite the following. Not defending him or anything, I don’t particularly like this person either but come on. Get over it. Do you know how many people cheat? Probably half the fucking population lmao. It doesn’t make it right but, the only reason anyone gives a shit is because he has subscribers and a platform where you can talk shit anonymously. Might as well find every cheater ever and tell them to kill themselves too while you’re all at it.

  39. d.... ....

    Well maybe if you didn't cheat on your partners you would

  40. a.... l....

    relatable

  41. M.... S....

    Some of the most twisted souls have such incredible artistic abilities.

  42. A.... D....

    What came in mind was “Bullet” by Hollywood Undead.

  43. C.... W....

    I found your channel today via a YouTube commentary video you did. But this is the video that convinced me to subscribe. I love your voice and your music in general!

  44. R.... ....

    Didnt you cheat on your ex tho?

  45. T.... M....

    LOL I LOVE HOW YOU ALWAYS BRAG ABOUT HOW DEPRESSED YOU ARE LOL

  46. b.... b....

    Question....too much for what though?

  47. K.... O....

    your just trinna make yourself seem like the victim and thats a total bish move i love your music but like stop being the victim and confess to your sins

  48. C.... C....

    Your scary and ugly ahhhhhh!!!!

  49. h.... i....

    Not going to liy but you cute

  50. K.... ....

    I may dislike about him cheating and such , and I don't respect him for that , but let's separate his personal life from his work/art , because I still enjoy his music , and I won't let what he did in the past affect what I enjoy to hear , so yes I'll keep being subscribed to him, even though I don't enjoy or accept what he did as a person , I respect what he does as an artist

    K.... ....

    Kaviix What does everyone mean when the say he's a cheater? What happened that I don't know about?

    K.... ....

    ya he cheated bla bla but that was also personal stuff that she brought up first all he said in his main video was that they broke up he didnt go too into detail she is the one that started this on social media ya he cheated thats fucked up but its her fault for putting it out there and play the victim for everyone to see people make mistakes just move on dont bring other people into it like she did

    K.... ....

    Kaviix see the problem is that he makes nothing about anything but victimizing himself and antagonizing the ex whom he cheated on

    K.... ....

    Kaviix totally agree🌟

  51. O.... O....

    Ur so Cool!

  52. M.... C....

    C'mon you can be happy,I'm worse I nearly killed myself, I'm over it now but you will be fine

  73. F.... M....

  74. E.... T....

    Richie, keep working on yourself. You'll get there. Wanting to be happy is the first step toward being happy.

  75. D.... l....

    Love this fucking song "Awesome"🕺

  76. i.... O....

    don't we all

  77. Z.... ....

    You are a weirdo but this song is actually good

  78. T.... ....

    Want to be happy? Want to stop getting hate? Stop dressing as the demon in death note.

    T.... ....

    TyroneisWhite You seriously think that's the only reason why he's getting hate?

  79. A.... N....

    Haters gonna hate Richie 🖤🖤🖤

  80. S.... ....

    Look creppy,




    But i like dat

  81. E.... ....

    I used to like you. Emphasis on the word USED right there.

    Fuck You.

  82. :.... a....

    He is amazing.

  83. -.... p....

    you know yourself, and you don't like it. you want human touch, but you know it's better not to. i admire you as an artist. just keep going, but please, try not to hurt anyone else!

  84. I.... H....

    If your serious in this song, you don't always need to do what we ask if it puts you through stress or whatever it is your feeling. Or take a break more often, don't feel like a slave (I don't know if that's the right word) and do what you please. Your not evil for feeling like your missing something, because you might be and it's called freedom. You don't have to do any of this but I'm just concerned. So Richie, want a hug? \(○^ω^○)/

  85. I.... s....

    Im sick of you haters. You say, "Why does he still have fans?" And "You suck". If. You. Do. Not. Like. Him. Then. Why. Are. You. Watching. Him.

  86. f.... ....

    my mood in a song

  87. T.... T....

    Stop cheating then.

  88. L.... ....

    Keep coming back to this during study and have it on repeat on my spotify.... I love it but god it's heart breaking

  89. R.... ....

    Richie I am getting the feeling that you are trying to play the victim ever since the Jaclyn drama please try and move on you started this yourself now you have to move on. You cant just continue dwelling over something you did or you will be stuck in a dark place and you will never be happy

  90. S.... 1....

    People who dress like this are mental I'm so sorry im being rude

  91. s.... b....

    Well hunny, let her be happy and grow up. Then maybe you'll see that what you're doing is stupid and pointless. you made your bed now sleep in it, goodnight

  92. E.... F....

    This is so so so relatable....except I didn't cheat on my gf numerous times and continue to play the victim card so I can keep the very few viewership I have....but besides that!

  93. G.... i....

    This is so relabtle to me..

    Love you Richie ❤❤

  94. S.... ....

    One word




    Emo

  95. x.... ....

    no one cares.

  96. S.... R....

    This is now on iTunes and Spotify

    S.... R....

    Social Repose good. it sucks.

    S.... R....

    Social Repose why would people want to listen often after you cheat

    S.... R....

    Maybe you be happy if you didn’t cheat on your girlfriend and then act like the victim
