Letra:

[English]

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

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

Then 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, but

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

When the evening falls

And I'm left there with my thoughts

And the image of you being with someone else

Well, that's eating me up inside

But we ran our course

We pretended we're okay

Now if we jump together

At least we can swim far away from the wreck we made

Then 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, but

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

So I'll go, I'll go

I will go, go, go

So I'll go, I'll go

I will go, go, go

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

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

Then only for a minute (only for a minute)

I want to change my mind 'cause

This just don't feel right to me

I wanna raise your spirits (wanna raise your spirits)

I want to see you smile, but

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

So I'll go, I'll go

I will go, go, go

...
