Lyrics
I got new DNA, I found my direction
When I see myself, I like my reflection
It's astonishing, I got it and I did it on my own, oh
I tried it all, name a medication
I'm a classic case, a special complication
Sure, there's growing pains that's worked to finally come into your own
I could try, could try to tell you, it's easy to survive
I could try, could try to tell you, it's easy, that's a lie
When the world is falling and you say you'd rather die
I'll be here to remind you that (that)
Happiness is the best revenge you'll get
It's fun to watch 'em burn from it
And all the shit that you go through
It built me and it'll build you, ah
Happiness is the best revenge you'll get
You don't have to carry it
All the shit that you go through
It built me and it'll build you, ah
Tell you what I'm learning
Learning from the hurting
But don't hold it against me
'Cause I'm so far from perfect
Lord knows, I'm still finding me
And you should still be finding you
Don't know much 'bout sanity
But I'll be right here next to you, ooh
Happiness is the best revenge you'll get
It's fun to watch 'em burn from it
And all the shit that you go through
It built me and it'll build you, ah
Happiness is the best revenge you'll get
You don't have to carry it
All the shit that you go through
It built me and it'll build you, ah
I got new DNA, I found my direction
When I see myself, I like my reflection
It's astonishing, I got it and I did it on my own, oh
All the shit that you live through
You gotta use it, don't let it use you
All the shit you get used to
It's gonna change up, it's gonna change you
All the shit that you go through
It built me and it'll build you
All the shit that you go through
It built me and it'll build you, ah
