) Happier Alone
Austin Meade Lyrics

Do you ever turn the lights down?
Have you ever felt so alone that you turn the lights down to match your mood?

Do you ever dance alone?
In your loneliness, have you ever danced to feel like there's someone else with you?

Do you wish that I was somehow, someway, somewhere closer to home?
Do you feel like you need someone, like me, to be close to you emotionally?

Does it ever cross your mind?
Have you ever considered the possibility of being happy by yourself?

You could be happy alone
You have the potential to find happiness in being alone, without someone else to lean on.

Instead of always waiting, pacing, saying 'I Love You' through the phone
Rather than being restless and distant, expressing your love through a phone, you can learn to be content in your own company.

You never asked me why
You never questioned what was really causing my disagreements with you.

I always heated to fight
I always engage in fights, no matter how trivial they may seem.

I didn't think it was necessary to be so angry
I realized that being angry wasn't worth the emotional toll it was taking on me.

When you told me everything was alright
I assumed that everything was okay, even when it wasn't.

You can sit there and pretend that we'll work out in the end
You can hope that things will turn around, but it won't change the reality of our situation.

But the truth is that me leaving is better than believing
It's better for me to leave than to believe that things can work out when they won't.

That I could ever love again
That I'll be able to find someone else to love after this failed relationship.

And I could be happier alone
I know that I can find happiness on my own, without a relationship to hold onto.

You could be happier alone
You have the potential to find happiness in yourself, without relying on someone else's presence.

You could be happier
You have the power to make yourself happier with or without someone else in your life.
