Chemical Imbalance

£9.50 for my antidepressants, £9.50 for anxiety pills
£90 per therapy session and they say you can't buy happiness still
Almost a quarter of the population have a little glitch inside of their brains
Everyone knows someone fighting feelings
Cos it's not okay to not be okay

But that's the point, it's invisible
Cleverly causing pain, there's no reason for this treason
Just a chemical imbalance in the brain

So for those out there who cannot share what's hiding behind that smile
If you're sad too, this song's for you, cos lying isn't my style
So pop a pill or three and sing with me about how crap this world can be
And just because this song is in a major key, that doesn't make it happy

Monday morning, work is boring, you're ignoring anybody talking small
Hi, how was your weekend? Is everything alright
You can't exactly have a meltdown, I mean they were just being polite
So you keep up the small talk, yeah, yeah, I almost committed suicide
But you don't want to end up with your P45, so
Yeah, it was fine, how was yours

But for those out there who still can't share what's really behind that smile
If you're sad too, this song's for you, cos lying isn't my style
So pop a pill or three and sing with me about how crap this world can be
And just because this song is in a major key, no, it still doesn't mean it's happy

So tell Pharrell if he has some to spare, there's a shortage of happiness, well, everywhere
But if we don't talk and if we don't share, then everyone around us will continue not to care

But for those out there who cannot share what's hiding behind that smile
If you're sad, oh, it's not that bad, I've been down here a while
So just pop a pill or 103 and wait eight months for therapy
You can write your song in any key

It's up to you to make it happy
