Happier Than I Deserve

[Verse 1]

I've walked through fire, I've walked through rain,

Carried the weight of my mistakes in pain.

I learned to live with less than love,

Never thought I’d have enough.

[Pre-Chorus]

But here I stand, heart wide open,

Every scar I thought was broken—

Fades beneath this golden sky,

And I can’t explain why.

[Chorus]

I am happier than I deserve,

Playing a game I didn’t learn.

Somehow grace found its way,

To a heart too scared to stay.

I won’t question, I won’t fight—

Maybe love got this one right.

[Verse 2]

I used to fear the gentle things,

Like kindness whispered on the wind.

Always waiting for the fall,

Too afraid to trust it all.

[Pre-Chorus]

But here I stand, heart wide open,

Every doubt I have, left unspoken—

Fades beneath this golden sky,

And I don’t need to ask why.

[Chorus]

I am happier than I deserve,

Playing a game I didn’t learn.

Somehow grace found its way,

To a heart too scared to stay.

I won’t question, I won’t fight—

Maybe love got this one right.

[Verse 3]

I used to chase the fading light,

Afraid to hold what felt too bright.

Like a thief who stole the dawn,

Waiting for the day it's gone.

[Pre-Chorus]

But the wind still sings through hollow fears,

And time moves on despite the years.

If grace is given, not just earned,

Then maybe love is mine to learn.

[Chorus]

I am happier than I deserve,

Playing a game I didn’t learn.

Somehow grace found its way,

To a heart too scared to stay.

I won’t question, I won’t fight—

Maybe love got this one right.

[Verse 4]

I spent my life with borrowed shame,

Like I owed the world my name.

Counting debts that weren’t my own,

Building walls instead of homes.

[Pre-Chorus]

But the river runs with open hands,

Never asking where it lands.

If the sun can rise without regret,

Then maybe I can love what's left.

[Chorus]

I am happier than I deserve,

Playing a game I didn’t learn.

Somehow grace found its way,

To a heart too scared to stay.

I won’t question, I won’t fight—

Maybe love got this one right.

[Verse 5]

I’ve lived in shadows, I’ve danced with doubt,

Made a home where the stars burn out.

Every sunrise felt like theft,

Like I took what wasn’t left.

[Pre-Chorus]

But the moon still shines though it owns no glow,

And the tide still turns though it does not know—

If it’s worthy of the waves it brings,

Or the peace the night might bring.

[Chorus]

I am happier than I deserve,

Playing a game I didn’t learn.

Somehow grace found its way,

To a heart too scared to stay.

I won’t question, I won’t fight—

Maybe love got this one right.

[Verse 6]

I never bet on lucky hands,

Never thought I'd get the chance.

Some folks dance with golden days,

I was always in the shade.

[Pre-Chorus]

But I woke up with light pouring in,

A love that holds, a sky that bends.

If this is more than my fair take,

Then maybe fate made a mistake.

[Chorus]

I am happier than I deserve,

Playing a game I didn’t learn.

Somehow grace found its way,

To a heart too scared to stay.

I won’t question, I won’t fight—

Maybe love got this one right.

[Verse 7]

Maybe I did something right,

Or maybe luck just took my side.

But I won’t waste the days I’m given,

Counting debts that weren’t written.

[Bridge]

Maybe kindness isn’t weighed,

Or weighed in measures we have made.

Maybe love just doesn’t care,

If we believe it’s undeserved or rare.

[Chorus]

I am happier than I deserve,

Playing a game I didn’t learn.

Somehow grace found its way,

To a heart too scared to stay.

I won’t question, I won’t fight—

Maybe love got this one right.

[Outro]

So I will take the gift of light,

Hold it close and hold it tight.

If I’m happier than I deserve,

Then let my heart unlearn the hurt.
