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 yeah

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

that's eating me up inside

but 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 made

then only for a minute

i want you 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 yeah

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 want you to 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 yeah

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
