[Verse 1]
Heard y'all been trying on wedding gowns
I heard y'all bought a house
I almost had you walking down the aisle
But, almost doesn't count

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing's bruised but my ego
Nothing's hurt but my pride

[Chorus]
And though it hurts
Baby, I'm happy for you
Happy for you
Even if it means
I gotta let you be happy
Happy without me
Happy without me

[Verse 2]
Remember how we used to lay around
Talked about what we'd name our child
I heard you're ready for a family now
I'm not the one you've settled down with

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing's bruised but my ego
Nothing's hurt but my pride

[Chorus]
And though it really hurts
Baby, I'm happy for you
Happy for you
Even if it means
I gotta let you be happy
Happy without me

[Verse 3]
I guess I should've counted up the cost
But I paid to the boss
And I was wrong
I should've let you be the man
Be your lady, hold your hand
Always be there, through it all

[Bridge]
I stalk to see just what you're up to now
I hope that I'll see you around

[Chorus]
Though it really hurts
Baby, I'm happy for you
Happy for you
Even if it means
I gotta let you be happy
Happy without me
Even though it hurts
Know that I'm happy for you
Happy for you, even if it means
I gotta let you be
Happy, happy without me
Happy without me
Happy without me
