22yrs old me used to breakdown listening to this song, now im 32 i still feel empty 'I just wanna be happy' If you are reading this, i wish you all the happiness you deserve.

its strange when you hear a song at a very young age not knowing that one day you are gonna relate to it

The most underrated song of the century. This song should be in archives as one of the best songs of the century!!!!

She may be underrated these days unfortunately but she's one of the best voices in the WORLD. Her voice is just perfection, so beautiful and powerful! And she seems to be so sweet and good person. I'm a huge fan since day one, to me she always will be one of my favorites artists!

Can we all appreciate her acting in this video? She killed it!

Being happy for someone else's happiness even if it means sacrificing your own happiness is the worst yet most satisfying feeling

When a 4 minute music video with no audible dialogue tells a better and more evocative story than many current day films and TV shows...

I get SO MAD every time the twist comes on like WTF?? 😭😭😭 how can homie pass on LEONA?? SHES LITERALLY HEAVEN

She deserved more. Shame on Simon Cowell for not making her the long term star she needed to be. Her talent is epic. Her beauty is immense.

still underrated. this song should have been a big hit.

Anyone with me in March 2023? I still firmly believe Happy should have been a no.1 hit song for weeks. Such profound lyrics and beautiful delivery. Leona is terribly underrated 😢 Her beauty is very natural too.

This is so heartbreaking to watch. Love Leona. Love the song. And more than a decade later, this song still shoots an arrow to my heart.

Her complexion is so rare and gorgeous...phew...it’s breathtaking

This is a beautiful song. Whoever wrote it went through some heartbreaking experience to come up with such an emotional song.

This song helped me through a really hard time in my teens. I still feel the strength pouring through everytime I hear it. ❤️

For me, the only thing I might replace with happy is, “peace”, which is honestly better than happiness. Happiness is temporary, peace lasts forever

Leona must be one of the most beautiful women in the entire world.

She is breathtakingly stunning

This song saved my life so many times in the past... Last week i saw my little cousin sister was sad and confused just like me, she's also going through somewhat similar, I shared this song with her, she said thank you yesterday...💕

Still giving me chills and tears!!!! This is just incredible

Leona delivers it beautifully. In fact, her vocal run from 2:39 to 2:44 could be the most incredible five seconds of singing we've heard all year.

If this ain’t the saddest video ever ! A masterpiece ❤️

Thank you Leona, finally 12 years later i could relate to this song :”) how hard it is to accept the reality that someone you thought the one is not around and happily married with someone else…

I dont usually comment on music videos but song has my heart. Its been 7 years and this remains my no. 1. I am battling depression and the lyrics really help me. I hope one day I will look back at this comment and be happy :)

Massively underrated song.

such a stunning voice and she looks stunning as well! Just love the "mystery" look on her if that makes any sense! And in terms of voice I am seriously confused whey she never made it into the big names! she deserves it!! It seriously makes 0 sense

_"You have to choose what you win or lose... you can't have everything."_

I feel like this song will ALWAYS be something I can relate to 😭😩😩🥺🥺😭

One of the most beautiful and powerful ballads ever. Leona deserves better, she is very underrated and extremely talented!

Well it only took about 10 years to make this video available worldwide

I love when music videos have storylines this is one perfect example

What a beautiful woman. What a beautiful voice.👌🏻

hey, it’s 2020 already. anyone still gets hurt with this song?

"Watch my life pass me by"....that got me deep. Wow

So much talent !! Wonderful singer. Best thing to come out of X Factor by a million miles!

2024 anyone❤?

This deserves 100 million views now

Her voice still gives me goosebumps

How hard to love someone who love someone else .

The love that never hopes for a reward that only gives it is always beautiful. I've watched this song thousands of times, but I still love listening to it. ❤

Her appearance is amazing, her beauty, her voice she have everything to queen but whyyyyyyyy??? This so underrated 😭😭😭

This song means a lot to me. This is my fav song ever. I need songs like this one. Leona please back to us and show you why you are one of the best vocalist and songwriters ever.

When this song came out I would jam it as loud as I could. I thought I knew that I didn't care about the pain in front of me. Now I listen to this song. I love it more!. The pain I endured since... I could have never in my life imagined. This song means even more to me now than it did then. - thank you, Leona Lewis for such a beautiful song!

The way I'm crying because of this song five years after its release. I don't care about the potential pain, i just wanna be happy

Lyrics: Someone once told me that you have to choose What you win or lose You can't have everything Don't you take chances Might feel the pain Don't you love in vain 'Cause love won't set you free I can't stand by the side And watch this life pass me by So unhappy But safe as could be So what if it hurts me? So what if I break down? So what if this world just throws me off the edge My feet run out of ground I gotta find my place I wanna hear my sound Don't care about all the pain in front of me 'Cause I'm just trying to be happy, yeah Just wanna be happy, yeah Holding on tightly Just can't let it go Just trying to play my role Slowly disappear, oh But all these days, they feel like they're the same Just different faces, different names Get me out of here I can't stand by your side, oh no And watch this life pass me by, pass me by So what if it hurts me? So what if I break down? So what if this world just throws me off the edge My feet run out of ground I gotta find my place I wanna hear my sound Don't care about all the pain in front of me 'Cause I'm just trying to be happy, oh, happy, oh So any turns that I can't see, like I'm a stranger on this road But don't say victim Don't say anything So what if it hurts me? So what if I break down? So what if this world just throws me off the edge My feet run out of ground I gotta find my place I wanna hear my sound Don't care about all the pain in front of me I just wanna be happy Oh, yeah, happy, oh, happy I just wanna be, oh I just wanna be happy Oh, happy

Leona is totally underrated!!!! Love this song!

This song has emotional feelings that lefts my Sprite, in every way that a teacher, Arthur or singer should guide someone going threw life in a emotional way... .I love this song Leona..big hit

She's simply great, what a Voice!

Still crying to this video in December 2019, whos with me?

One of the most greatest sad song ever

Her voice is out of this world. She should have been a Grammy Award winner

she's happy now, married and a baby on the way😍

This was the craziest plot twist! 2024 and still listening. I just wanna be happy!

I was too young to understand when this song first came out but it still made me cry. Now ten years later that's me, watching life pass me by. Fuck.

Kind of sad that often be overlooked by her contemporaries. She's always have uplifting songs, album and warmest mtv. Fantastic, dare I say it! I've always thought her artistry are elegant and beautiful

..."watch this life pass me by". That bit got me. Its time i get my life off autopilot.

Will never forget the songs of my teen years.

She is so criminally underrated

One of the best songs ever made! This lyrics and Leona's vocals are incredible insane! She deserved much more! I'm going to see Leona this year in London, from Portugal. We love you

Sometimes you and the one you love are not meant for each other and it hurts like hell to see your love being happy with another one

Being happy is the simplest but also the toughest thing in the world 😔

love herrrrr...sad thats she doesnt get the fame and credits she deserves

"i gotta FIND MY PLACE i wanna hear (falsetto) my sound" Love that part

This is a Master piece! She, her voice, the Video, the Music 👌🏽

She's so pretty

I'm so *HAPPY* we can finally see this beautiful video

Leona Lewis is an angel. Her voice is heaven. Her smile is the sun, bright and vibrant. Her lyrics are so powerful. I wish she would make music consistently again.

this song is a work of art. Leona is so talented. Unfortunately, the industry does not know how to value what is really good, only what is streaming or views.

When I first heard this song, I fell in love with it, then I saw the video and fell in love with Leona! What a Beauty, what a Voice! 😍😍😍🥰😘

I wonder how it feels like to be that pretty

Jesus, the octave range on this 🤯

One of the greatest love songs of all time... Timeless... ❤

literally almost every breakup i come back to this women..

I think this is my favorite song of hers. Also, she's naturally gorgeous in this.

I'm crying right now because i love a man that don't love me , i feel Like i will Never found love .

This beautiful video on cuba and Leona singing this beautiful song😢😢😢😢😢……. That was everything I need.

Leona is the best vocalist of our century, she’s up with the greats. Her labels have let her down, including Simon Cowell, her range and voice are like an Angel singing, soothes the core. This song got me through so much.

What happened to Leona? Why did the world not give her the recognition she truly deserves?

Classic 🔥 Leona is a legend one of my favorite singers of all time

Beautiful song. It's very rare (for me anyway) that a song is more then just a song and this is one of them, it carries so much significance/meaning to my own life at the present time. I am glad I can enjoy it on so many levels.

The dark-haired woman the guy marries first shows up in the background at 2:18 and again at 2:21. It wasn't the girl Leona was sitting next to at the beginning, which I initially thought for years when I first saw this video.

This is the biggest plot twist in a music video ever it’s so sad like what the hell

She sings this songs so beautifully!!!! It’s one of my favorites. Her vocal dynamics is just breathtaking.

The line 'So unhappy, but safe as could be' will always get me

Every time i listen this...my tears are dripping 😢😢😢

i literally screamed when i found this i used to listen to it everday when i was younger and I've been looking for it for years 😭😭😭 the video the song 😭😍 i just love everything about this song

Such a well directed music video

Thats why her dad was against her going... He knew she was heart broken and it would only hurt her more... Biggest twist in pop music vid history i have to say lol

This is another song from Leona Lewis that is truly a Masterpiece

I am certainly happy to find this song. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

She is more beautiful then the bride herself yet how come he doesn’t see this. She even went to his wedding when it should have been hers 💔 she loved him that much that she let him marry someone else. 😭😭

All those broken hearted people... I think it’s time for us to be happy again, it’s a definite sign that the past ten years were tough to teach us lessons. ITS TIME FOR US TO BE HAPPY. I’m banishing abuse, poverty, loneliness, sadness, sickness, pain and heartache out of my life now and forever, and hope you all decide the same as well ♥️

THE ENDING...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What a awesome video wasn't expecting that ending 👏 😳 👌

The most underrated song! She is also soooo underrated! Where has she been these past 7-8 years?

This music video is very smart to highlight your innocence, but still makes you look elegant when in love

Coming from a fellow singer her vocals are absolutely aesthetic

The most beautiful video clip ever filmed. Sensational.

The main key to happiness for me has been accepting my life for what it is and not for what I hoped it would be. Nothing ever goes according to plan exactly, but I truly think the key is to be satisfied with the outcome and make the most out of it. You can't live someone else's life, you just have your own, love your life with all the quirks and oddities, be grateful for what you have right now and don't compare your life to anyone else, that's a definite joy killer. But most importantly, we really need to be more kind to ourselves.

she's so beautiful and stunning
