Happier
Marshmello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 the all that has happened
I think that we both know the way that this 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
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 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

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 (only for a minute)
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits (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





So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go

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

Dogs are loyal. They will help you through your darkest days. If you ever get a dog, don't think about how this story will end. Think about how the story was. If you have ever had a dog, you will know what I mean...
