[English]

I'm so fuckin' happy

Without you, ooh

Got no more tears here left to cry

I watched the films and drunk the wine

Here in the mess you left behind

I've been alright, you know, I finally let you go, yeah-yeah

Called up my friends, took their advice

Put on a dress, I'm out tonight

I can't believe I said goodbye

Oh yeah, this time you know, I finally let you go, yeah

I don't know why you thought that I'd be sheddin' a tear

When I'm chillin' at the party, and I'm glad you're not here

And I don't know what to say, but the pain disappeared

And I'm sorry

Bet you think I'm a trainwreck, upset

Friday night, layin' lonely in my bed

Truth is, boy, I'm so fuckin' happy

Without you

Bet you thought I'd be crawlin' to your feet

Tryna write another sad song, but not me

Truth is, boy, I'm so fuckin' happy

Without you, ooh (ugh)

So pour yourself another drink

Sit on your couch and overthink

In all your lies and arrogance, I've been alright, you know

So glad you let me go, yeah

I don't know why you thought that I'd be sheddin' a tear

When I'm chillin' at the party, and I'm glad you're not here

And I don't know what to say, but the pain disappeared

And I'm sorry

Bet you think I'm a trainwreck, upset

Friday night, layin' lonely in my bed

Truth is, boy, I'm so fuckin' happy

Without you

Bet you thought I'd be crawlin' to your feet

Tryna write another sad song, but not me

Truth is, boy, I'm so fuckin' happy

Without you, ooh

And now I've finally had enough (had enough)

I'm gonna put myself in front (self in front)

And you're not even tryin', and now I'm done fightin'

And I'd stick us back together

And now we're at the final stop (final stop)

And I'm the one that's gettin' off (gettin' off)

I know you hope I'm cryin', but I'm doin' just fine

And you thought I'd be a trainwreck, upset

Friday night, layin' lonely in my bed

Truth is, boy, I'm so fuckin' happy

Without you

Bet you thought I'd be crawlin' to your feet

Tryna write another sad song, but not me

Truth is, boy, I'm so fuckin' happy

Without you, ooh

Key Grammar Structures

• I've been alright, you know, I finally let you go, yeah‑yeah

  ➔ Present perfect (have/has + past participle) to describe a state that started in the past and continues to the present.

  ➔ The verb "**have been**" shows the present perfect continuous sense of "been".

• Called up my friends, took their advice

  ➔ Simple past tense with omitted subject (understood "I") for narrative brevity.

  ➔ "**Called**" and "**took**" are past‑tense verbs with the subject "I" understood.

• I don't know why you thought that I'd be sheddin' a tear

  ➔ Negative present simple + indirect question (why + clause) + conditional "would" in reported speech.

  ➔ "**don't know**" is a negative present simple, and "**thought that I'd be**" uses the conditional "would" (contracted to "'d") in reported speech.

• Bet you think I'm a trainwreck, upset

  ➔ Informal modal verb "bet" meaning "I bet" + clause; present simple for opinion.

  ➔ "**Bet**" functions as a modal meaning "I bet" and is followed by the present simple "you think".

• Tryna write another sad song, but not me

  ➔ "Tryna" = informal contraction of "trying to" + infinitive verb (write).

  ➔ "**Tryna**" is short for "**trying to**" and is followed by the infinitive "**write**".

• And now I've finally had enough (had enough)

  ➔ Present perfect "have + past participle" to express a completed action with present relevance.

  ➔ "**have**" + "**had**" forms the present perfect, showing that the feeling of "enough" started earlier and is still true now.

• I'm gonna put myself in front

  ➔ "gonna" = informal contraction of "going to" for future intention; reflexive pronoun "myself".

  ➔ "**gonna**" stands for "**going to**" and signals a future action; "**myself**" is a reflexive pronoun referring back to the subject "I".

• I know you hope I'm cryin', but I'm doin' just fine

  ➔ Verb "know" + that‑clause (omitted "that") + present progressive after "hope" to express a current expectation.

  ➔ "**know**" introduces a clause; "**hope**" is followed by the present progressive "**I'm cryin'**" indicating an ongoing expectation.

• And I'm glad you're not here

  ➔ "glad" + that‑clause (omitted "that") to express a feeling about a situation.

  ➔ "**glad**" is followed by the omitted "**that**" and the clause "**you're not here**" describing the cause of the happiness.
