Happier
Marshmello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 the 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
But 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
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, that'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 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
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
Yeah 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
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Marshmello's song "Happier" is a powerful, emotional ballad about a relationship that has run its course. The lyrics express the singer's desire for their love interest to be happy, even if it means that they have to leave. The song is both melancholic and hopeful, infused with a sense of longing and introspection.
The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer confesses their desire for their partner to be happier. They have been thinking about it and they have come to the realization that they are not the best for each other. The second verse describes the tension and pain that the singer experiences when they think about their partner with someone else. Despite this, the singer knows that their time in the relationship has come to an end, and that they both need to move on.
The chorus of "Happier" is simple and powerful, with the repetition of the phrase "I want you to be happier" driving home the song's central theme. The repetition of this phrase is particularly poignant as it emphasizes the depth of the singer's feelings and the importance of their partner's happiness.
Overall, "Happier" is a beautiful song about love, loss, and the pain of moving on. The lyrics are emotive and raw, capturing the complexities of relationships and the emotions that come with them.
Line by Line Meaning
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I have been reflecting on our relationship lately
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
I want you to be happy and content, even if that means us not being together
When the morning comes
When we wake up and start a new day
When we see what we've become
When we realize what our relationship has transformed into
In the cold light of day we're a flame in the wind
We are very fragile and vulnerable when we look at our relationship clearly
Not the fire that we've begun
We are not as strong or passionate as we used to be
Every argument, every word we can't take back
Our disagreements and the things we have said to each other cannot be undone
'Cause with the all that has happened
Because of everything that has occurred in our relationship
I think that we both know the way that this story ends
I believe that we both know that our relationship will not end well
Then only for a minute
If only for a brief moment
I want to change my mind
I wish to reconsider my decision
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
Because something feels wrong about ending our relationship
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to make you happy and uplifted
I want to see you smile but
However, in order to do that
Know that means I'll have to leave
I understand that it requires me to leave you in order to make you happy
When the evening falls
When the day ends and night approaches
And I'm left there with my thoughts
And I am alone with my reflections
And the image of you being with someone else
And the thought of you being in a relationship with somebody else
Well, that's eating me up inside
That is causing me great emotional distress
But we run our course, we pretend that we're okay
Our relationship has run its course, and we are pretending that everything is fine
Now if we jump together at least we can swim
If we end our relationship together, we can at least support each other through the difficulties
Far away from the wreck we made
We can move on from the damage that we have caused in our relationship
So I'll go, I'll go
So I will leave
I will go, go, go
I will leave quickly and resolutely
Even though I might not like this
Although I may not want to do this
I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier
I believe that you will be happier without me, and I want only for you to be happy

lately I've been,i've been thinking I want you to be happier.
I want you to be happier
When the morning comes and we see what we've become in the cold light day were flame in the wind not the fire that we began
Every argument every word we can't take back
Cause with all that has happened I think that we both know the way the story ends.
* Chorus*
Then only for a minute I want to change my mind cause this just dont feel right to me.
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile
know that means I have to leave
know that means I have to leave.
Lately have been ,have been thinking I want you to be happier,I want you to be happier.
When the evening falls and am left there with my thoughts and the image of you being with some else is eating me up inside.
But we run our course we pretend that we're okay now if we jump together at least we can swim far away from the wreck that we made
