Happier – Madilyn Bailey (originally by Marshmello / Ed Sheeran)

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
