Happier
Mini Pop Kids 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,
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 want to 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 of course we pretended we're okay
Now if we jump together at least we can swing
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
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 think that you'll 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
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

Lately i've been, i've been thinking
Recently, I've been frequently pondering
I want you to be happier
I desire for you to experience more joy
When the morning comes
As the new day arrives
When we see what we've become
When we recognize our current state
In the cold light of day we're a flame in the wind
Our situation is precarious and can easily be extinguished
Not the fire that we've begun
Not the passionate and thriving relationship we once had
Every argument,
Every dispute
Every word we can't take back cause with all that has happened
Every statement we regret, due to all that occurred
I think that we both know the way that this story ends
I believe that we are aware of how this narrative concludes
Then only for a minute
For only a brief moment
I want to change my mind
I desire to alter my perspective
Cause this just don't feel right to me
Because this doesn't feel appropriate to me
I want to raise your spirits
I desire to lift your mood
I want to see you smile but know that means i'll have to leave
I want to witness your happiness, but I recognize that comes with the cost of my departure
When the evening falls and i'm left there with my thoughts
As night arrives, and I am alone with my reflections
And the image of you being with someone else well it's eating me up inside
The thought of you with another person is tormenting me
But we ran of course we pretended we're okay
But we fled from our problems and fooled ourselves into thinking everything was fine
Now if we jump together at least we can swing
If we take a risk and embark on an endeavor together, we could propel ourselves out of this detrimental condition
Far away from the wreck we made
Far away from the destruction and damage we caused
Even though i might not like this
Despite not favoring this decision
I think that you'll be happier
I believe that you will experience more joy
So i'll go, i'll go, i will go, go, go
So I will depart, I will depart, I will depart quickly
