Happy Enough

Lyrics
[Xue Xing] I was taught "Don't expect too much from life." To have a roof overhead, a job, a wife I'm happy enough I'm happy enough I was taught to be strong. We were hit if we cried Who am I to want more than my status and pride I'm happy enough I'm happy enough [Hillary] I was taught I could be anything I wanted Even President of the United States If I worked hard enough, gave my all enough So I worked, and I gave To my people and my country til I realized today That there's nothing left inside, I gave all of me away And why am I so lonely? I'm never enough I will be never enough [Xue Xing] I was taught not to listen to the doubts when they creep into my head "Ignore those feelings, put them away." So I ignored them, barely noticed That I'm completely empty, so lonely, filled with dread That it wouldn't even matter if someone stabbed me dead 'Cause I never started living It's not enough It has never been enough (spoken) Your people, they never get to see this side of you [Hillary, spoken] This part, I keep for myself [Xue Xing] You have to save face [Hillary] Now we both know what we hide from the world (sung) And isn't that love? [Xue Xing, sung] Is that love? [Hillary] Isn't that love? [Xue Xing] Is that love? [Both] To lose your face And open your heart [Hillary] Isn't this love? [Xue Xing] Is this love? [Hillary] Isn't this love? [Xue Xing] Is this love? [Both] To lose your face And open your heart [Hillary] Isn't this?
