Happier

Lately, I've been, I've been thinking

I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

Even though I might not like this

I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier

When the morning comes

When we see what we've become

In the cold light of day, we're a flame in the wind

Not the fire that we've begun

Every argument, every word we can't take back

'Cause with all that has happened

I think that we both know the way that this story ends

And only for a minute

I want to change my mind

'Cause this just don't feel right to me

I wanna raise your spirits

I want to see you smile

Know that means I'll have to leave

Know that means I'll have to leave

Lately, I've been, I've been thinking

I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

Sat in the corner of the room

Everything's reminding me of you, oh

Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself

You're happier, aren't you?

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you

Ain't nobody need you like I do

Promise that I will not take it personal, baby

If you're moving on with someone new

But I guess you look happier, you do

My friends told me one day I'll feel this too

I could try to smile and hide the truth

But I know I was happier with you

And only for a minute

I want to change my mind

'Cause this just don't feel right to me

I wanna raise your spirits

I want to see you smile

Know that means I'll have to leave

(Go, I'll go)

(And I'll go, go, go) Know that means I'll have to leave

(I'll go, I'll go) Lately, I've been, I've been thinking

(I will go, go, go) I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

But I guess you look happier, you do

My friends told me one day I'll feel this too

I could try to smile and hide the truth

(Lately, I've been, I've been thinking)

But I know I was happier with you

(I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier)
