Lately I've been I've been thinking
I want you to be happier
I want you to be happier
When the morning comes
And we see what we've become
In the cold light of day with 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 wanna change my mind
This just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirit
I wanna see you smile but
Now that means I'll have to leave
Now 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 here with my thoughts
And the image of you being with someone else
Well it's eating me up inside
Though we run our course
We pretend that we're okay
Now if we jump together at least
We can swim far away from the wreck we beg
Then only for a minute
I wanna change my mind
This just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirit
I wanna see you smile but
Now that means I'll have to leave
Now 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
