Sterling Elza - Happy

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling behind
Sometimes I feel like I might be blind
Have to remind you who I really am

{Chorus}
Cause' I tried to make you happy
Yeah, it's just a waste of my time
And I'm feeling so beside me
Yeah, I tried to hide all the signs

{Verse 2}
Told me you wanted to settle down
Said it's hard to trust me when I'm not around
Lately I'm so fucking tired of your frown

{Chorus}
Cause' I tried to make you happy
Yeah, it's just a waste of my time
And I'm feeling so beside me
Yeah, I tried to hide all the signs

{Verse 3}
I tried so long to make this work
So tired of being treated like a piece of dirt
Guess all those happy memories
Only meant shit to me

{Chorus} x2
Cause' I tried to make you happy
Yeah, it's just a waste of my time
And I'm feeling so beside me
Yeah, I tried to hide all the signs

Biography

edit bio

Sterling Elza is a Red Dirt singer/songwriter raised deep in the Texas Panhandle. Born into a ranching family that already had 3 musicians, Sterling took to music from the beginning with guitar lessons starting at the age of 5. Drawing influences from his parents music which could range from “old school Red Dirt” to top 40 country all the way to grunge and classic rock, Sterling began his musical journey. Sterling continued taking guitar lessons until he moved to Florida where he played tennis at the IMG Academy. After the passing of his uncle – “Big Ster” – and 3 years in Florida, Sterling decided it was time to make a change and fully commit to a life and career in music. A move back to Texas seemed like the perfect choice for a budding songwriter. Now calling New Braunfels home, Sterling is launching into the Red Dirt scene with the release of his debut album in the Fall. The love of music and the passion to perform drive him to continue perfecting his craft and learning from some of the best in the business. With a five piece band and a wall of sound, it won’t be long before Sterling Elza is a household name in Red Dirt music.
