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
