I know what you said
That we shouldn't talk
Cause that makes it harder
Now time seems to pass
I miss what we had
But missin' don't help much

Oh, when I see you holding on to somebody new
I won't know what to do
To tell you the truth

I just want you to be happy
But I don't wanna have to see it
Maybe I'll see you in passing
And we can pretend this is easy
Keep my eyes close, so you won't know
I'm falling apart hanging onto your ghost
I just want you to be happy
But I don't wanna have to see it

The reality is hard to admit
But we didn't work well
So please live your life
I'll keep you in mind
Just like I promised that I would

Oh, when I see you holding on to somebody new
I won't know what to do
To tell you the truth

I just want you to be happy
But I don't wanna have to see it
Maybe I'll see you in passing
And we can pretend this is easy
Keep my eyes close, so you won't know
I'm falling apart hanging onto your ghost
I just want you to be happy
But I don't wanna have to see it
Oh, when I see you holding on to somebody new
I won't know what to do
To tell you the truth

I just want you to be happy
But I don't wanna have to see it
Maybe I'll see you in passing
And we can pretend this is easy
Keep my eyes close, so you won't know
I'm falling apart hanging onto your ghost
I just want you to be happy
But I don't wanna have to see it
