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 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 wanna 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
  
 
 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 run our course, we pretend that we're okay
 
 Now if we jump together, at least we can swing
 
 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 wanna 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
  
 
 Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
 
 I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
