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
