Happier - Madilyn Bailey

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 the 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

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 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 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

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

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

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 that 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 love you like I do

Promise that I will not take it personal baby

If you’re moving on with someone new

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

Sat in the corner of the room

Everything’s reminding me of you

Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you’re happier

Aren’t you?

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

But I guess you look happier, you do

My friends told me one day I’ll feel it too

I could try to 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 he breaks your heart like lovers do

Just know that I’ll be waiting here for you
