[Verse 1]
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 this story ends
[Chorus]
Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave
[Drop]
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier, happier
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Happy
I been—
Want you—
Ha-happ—
Ha-happ—
[Verse 2]
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 swing
Far away from the wreck we made
[Chorus]
Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave
[Bridge]
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
[Pre-Drop]
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
[Drop]
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier, happier
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Happy
Want you—
Ha-happ—
Ha-happ—
I've been thinking
