Marshmello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
