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
