Happier
Marshmello & Bastille 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 thinkingI 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

Hi!
If you have ever felt sad , abandoned , depressed , not wanted , or anything like that then this is for you :)
People have gone through the same thing as you , a tip is to talk to someone you can trust like a friend or a parent or any relatives .
Everyone makes this world amazing you are a big reason this world is a good place .
Don’t hurt yourself because you are feeling sad or angry or abandoned just remember that you matter in this world and people love and care about you .
Being yourself means that you dont care about what others think about you , being yourself lets them decide if they like you and soon after the right people will be your friends, real friends .
People say things but they are just words i know they get to us but don’t get upset about things that are not true about you , you’re amazing in your own way and if people don’t see that then ignore them and don’t be friends with them .
We all want the best for you and things get better as time goes on ❤️❤️❤️ .
Being happy is the key to life always smile even if your down , we’re here for you .
All that matters is that you have friends and people who care about you .
A tip to be happy when people say things is act as if you didn’t hear them even if you did hear them and it made you upset , do not show that your upset by what they said because this will only make them keep being mean to you , once they see they are not getting to you they will stop , also talk , talk to someone you can trust like your parents , it helped me , it felt as if a weight had been lifted off of me .
People who are saying things about you will change their minds and feel guilty when they are adults for treating others like that .
I was never bullied at school but there was the occasional mean things said to me but i let it slide and ignored them it never got to me because i have learned to not waste my time on them .
They are not worth your time .
Don’t be friends with people who are popular even if you don’t like them , be friends with people who you like , being popular isn’t important being happy is .
Nothing makes someone popular they are just like you <3
People think they are popular because they may be good at something but that doesn’t mean they are popular they are just like you .
Do not be mean to others , remember how you felt don’t let that spread , you need to spread happiness everywhere you go when you can .
You do matter in this world ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please Share This On Other Videos To Spread The Word ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bye!
Merry Christmas!
