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 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 want to 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 Walking down 29th and park I saw you in another's arms Only a month we've been apart You look happier Saw you walk inside a bar He said something to make you laugh I saw the both your smiles were twice as wide, as ours Yeah, you look happier you do Ain't nobody hurt you like i hurt you But ain't nobody need you like i do I know that there's others that deserve you But my darling i am still in love with you When the evening falls and i'm left there with my thoughts And the image of you Being with someone else well it's eating me up inside But we ran of course we pretended we're okay Now if we jump together at least we can swim Far away from the wreck we made Cause baby you look happier, you do My friends told me one day i'll feel it too And until then i'll smile to hide the truth But i know i was happier with you Baby you look happier, you do I knew one day you'd fall for someone new But if it breaks your heart like lovers do Just know that i'll be waiting here for you 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 (then only for a minute) I want to change my mind Cause this just don't feel right to me I want to raise your spirits (i want to 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
