Meaning of the song<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n

“It was a take on the whole thing about the band because when you’re in a band, you’re considered sort of like that ’emo’ genre and that you’re supposed to be ‘sad’. I’m like: ‘I don’t wanna be sad anymore, I’m happy now!’ And it’s another way to say ‘I wanna be happy'”<\/i><\/p>\n

– Pierre Bouvier –<\/center><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The idea behind that song is that we have a lot of fans that write us and pull up by a concert and tell us how much our music has helped them. It\u2019s crazy to see how many people seem to be struggling. Music can sometimes be the only lifeline for them. It becomes like their faith, what they use to keep going and I think that inspired us as a band. We were so saddened by how many kids are dealing with depression and we’ve written a lot of songs about that subject, but this time we wanted to write about it from a different perspective. So now it’s more like, ‘I’m sick of feeling like this, I wanna be happier.’<\/b> There’s an element of inspiration from the Bleachers’ song ‘I Wanna Get Better’. I suppose it\u2019s about empowerment. Instead of complaining, the song encourages kids to be done with the sad.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Song lyrics<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n


\nNo, I don\u2019t wanna be sad
\nI don\u2019t wanna be sad, sad, sad no more<\/center><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been 28 days since I\u2019ve seen the sunshine
\nCause I just can\u2019t seem to lift this cloud away
\nI swear all the tears I\u2019ve cried could fill an ocean
\nI\u2019ve been swimming in a sea of misery<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t find the strength to leave this bed
\nI\u2019m locked up in my cuckoo head
\nI feel so low and I can\u2019t let go
\nI\u2019ve got all the symptoms all the signs
\nI tell my friends I\u2019ll be just fine
\nBut truth be told
\nIt\u2019s getting old<\/p>\n

No, I don\u2019t wanna be sad
\nI don\u2019t wanna be sad sad sad no more
\nAnd I know, some days will be bad
\nBut I don\u2019t wanna be sad sad sad no more<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve tried every pill the doctor will prescribe me
\nAnd I\u2019ve put myself through weeks of therapy
\nI\u2019ve tried meditation yoga and pilates
\nIt\u2019s like happiness just wasn\u2019t meant for me<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m through I\u2019m done I\u2019ve had enough
\nI\u2019ll ditch this funk I tell you what
\nJust watch me now
\nCause I won\u2019t back down
\nI\u2019ve got a bad ass personality
\nSo I just need to set it free
\nIt starts today I\u2019m on my way<\/p>\n

No, I don\u2019t wanna be sad
\nI don\u2019t wanna be sad sad sad no more
\nAnd I know, some days will be bad
\nBut I don\u2019t wanna be sad sad sad no more<\/p>\n

Oh, oh, oh
\nNo no no
\nI don\u2019t wanna be sad
\nOh, oh, oh
\nNo no no
\nI don\u2019t wanna be sad
\nOh, oh, oh
\nNo no no
\nI don\u2019t wanna be sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad<\/p>\n

No, I don\u2019t wanna be sad
\nI don\u2019t wanna be sad sad sad no more
\nAnd I know, some days will be bad
\nBut I don\u2019t wanna be sad sad sad no more<\/p>\n

No, I don\u2019t wanna be sad
\nI don\u2019t wanna be sad sad sad no more
\nAnd I know, some days will be bad
\nBut I don\u2019t wanna be sad sad sad no more<\/p>\n
