Lyrics
Verse 1:
We were close, you and I, in those early days,
Found a bond, thought it’d never fade away.
But now you’ve gone, with a new crowd by your side,
I’m left alone, feeling lost in the tide.
Pre-Chorus:
I see you with new friends, you’ve moved on fast,
I thought we’d be forever, but those days didn’t last.
You’re shining bright with them, you’ve found someone new,
While I’m stuck reminiscing, just thinking of you.
Chorus:
I hope you're happy, but not as you were with me,
I’m selfish, I know, it’s just how it’s gotta be.
Find someone great, but don’t find someone better,
I hope you're happy, but don’t be happier.
Verse 2:
Do you tell them they’re the best you’ve ever seen?
Promise them the words you never meant to me?
I remember when I was the one you’d adore,
Now it’s them you cherish, while I’m left wanting more.
Pre-Chorus:
I see the photos, and I wonder how you feel,
Do they give you butterflies, is the love real?
I’m here picking up the pieces, just trying to get by,
While you’re out there, shining under a new sky.
Chorus:
I hope you're happy, but not as you were with me,
I’m selfish, I know, it’s just how it’s gotta be.
Find someone great, but don’t find someone better,
I hope you're happy, but don’t be happier.
Bridge:
Ooh, I hope you think of me when you’re with them,
Just a fleeting memory, a whisper, a blur.
It’s hard to let go, but I’m trying to be strong,
Finding peace in the notes of this bittersweet song.
Chorus:
I hope you're happy, but not as you were with me,
I’m selfish, I know, it’s just how it’s gotta be.
Find someone great, but don’t find someone better,
I hope you're happy, but don’t be happier.
Outro:
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh,
Ooh-ooh, ooh,
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
I hope you’re happy, but don’t be happier.
