[Intro]
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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
Hey yeah hey yeah hey yeah*2

[Interlude]
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Verse 2]
Walking down 29th and park
I saw you in another's arms
Only a month we've been apart
You look happier, you do

[Chorus 2]
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 oh
If you're moving on with someone new

[Refrain]
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

[Outro]
Oh ohh oh ohh oho oh oh ohh*3
Ahh oh ahh oh ahh
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
