I wake up and I wanna go straight back into to bed 
I can't help thinking with my heart 'stead of thinking with my head
I got a million dark clouds and they're all about to break 
I need the sun but how come I'm always stuck with the rain 

I made 2+2 always equal five 
I kept running out of time 
Until I realised 

Life's an equation 
You get happiness but only with frustrations 
You can have it all but it's gotta add up up up up 
Gotta add up up up 
Life's an equation 
You need pain, tears, laughter and love 
You need pain, tears, laughter and love 

If you're covered in darkness and there's no sign of light 

You're at the bottom of the hill then all you can do is rise 
You've got a million reasons to get you through this pain 
And all you need to know is one day soon you'll smile again 

I made 2+2 always equal five 
I kept running out of time 
Until I realised 

Life's an equation 
You get happiness but only with frustrations 
You can have it all but it's gotta add up up up up 
Gotta add up up up 
Life's an equation 
You need pain, tears, laughter and love 
You need pain, tears, laughter and love 

Balance oh 

Life's an equation 
You get happiness but only with frustrations
