Happier
歌词:
[English]
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to 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
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
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
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
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
I want you to be happier
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
...
