Songwriter: Ellie Goulding Lili Tarkow-Reinisch

I saw your picture in the paper today
I didn't know the eyes, but I recognized your face
I read what you're doing and doing it in style
Last year I might have cried, but tonight I'll try to smile
Are you happy now?

I let your birthday pass, I met your friends at last
I didn't even ask if you're happy now
I barely made each night
Somehow the days rolled by
The part that loved you died
Are you happy now?

Saw you walking in the rain and holding no one's hand
I started feeling things that I couldn't understand
Now you're swinging from my heart, I'm ringing up my friends
"Before it all begins," they say, " remember how it ends"
Are you happy now?

I let your birthday pass, I met your friends at last
I didn't even ask if you're happy now
I barely made each night
Somehow the days rolled by
The part that loved you died
Are you happy now?

Saw you walking in the rain and holding no one's hand
You're swinging from my heart, I'm ringing up my friends
And are you happy now?
