[Verse 1]
It's been a while since I was lost for words
Needles and static and stutters
I never knew a love that doesn't hurt
Feeling the heat and the burn

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Just give me one good reason, drop everything and leave it
Seconds away from turning this car back around
Something about your feeling, pushing and pulling me in
And now my walls fall down

[Chorus]
Usually fearless, why am I scared of happy?
Usually fearless, why am I scared of happy?
I'm afraid of nothing, I'm afraid of no one
Used to be fearless, why am I scared of happy?
Scared of happy

[Verse 2]
There is something good in sticking to your guns
No one to blame but yourself
I take a step back and I breathe for once
This is what I want

[Pre-Chorus]
You give me one good reason, drop everything and leave it
Seconds away from pulling up outside your door
Something about your feeling, pushing and pulling me in
This is almost right

[Chorus]
Usually fearless, why am I scared of happy?
Usually fearless, why am I scared of happy?
I'm afraid of nothing, I'm afraid of no one
Used to be fearless, why am I scared of happy?
Scared of happy

[Bridge]
When it all goes down
When it all goes down
Will you still be around?
I'm coming back, no more running away

[Chorus]
Usually fearless, why am I scared of happy?
Usually fearless, why am I scared of happy?
I'm afraid of nothing, I'm afraid of no one
Used to be fearless, why am I scared of happy?

[Post-Chorus]
Why am I scared of happy?
Scared of happy
Why am I scared of happy?
Scared of happy
Why am I scared of happy?
Scared of happy
Why am I?

[Outro]
Used to be fearless, why am I scared of happy?
Usually fearless, why am I scared of happy?
(I'm afraid of nothing, I'm afraid of no one)
Used to be fearless, why am I... scared of happy?

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
