Happier
Yungblud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

(Hey) time goes by a little less slowly
When I'm out (hey) my mind
Thought you said, "I need you more than ever" (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
So why'd you have to hide?
"I need you more than ever" (hey)
Don't let me die
I need you more now (hey, hey, hey, hey)

If I could tell you how I feel
I know that you're still hurting too (hey)
No, I'm not broken
I'm just scared to belong here
(Hey, hey, hey, hey) scared to be happier (hey)
If I could tell you how I feel
I know that you're still hurting too (hey)
No I'm not broken
I'm just scared to belong here
(Hey, hey, hey) scared to be happier (hey)

To happier (hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

(Hey) take my heart
And put it on a wall right next to
(Hey) all your scars
I thought you said you need me more than ever (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
So why you'd have to hide? (Why do you have to hide?)
I need you more than ever
Don't let me die




I need you right now (hey, hey, hey, hey)

If I could tell you how I feel
I know that you're still hurting too (hey)
No, I'm not broken
I'm just scared to belong here
Scared to be happier (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
If I could tell you how I feel
I know that you're still hurting too (hey)
No, I'm not broken
I'm just scared to belong here
Scared to be happier

Broken, I'm not broken, I'm not broken
I'm just a little depressed
I'm not broken (hey), I'm not broken, I'm not broken
I just need a rest (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'm not broken, not broken, not broken
I'm just a little depressed
I'm not broken (hey), not broken, not broken
I just need a rest (hey, hey, hey, hey)

If I could tell you how I feel
I know that you're still hurting too (hey)
No, I'm not broken
I'm just scared to belong here
Scared to be happier (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
If I could tell you how I feel
I know that you're still hurting too (hey)
No, I'm not broken (not broken)
I'm just scared to belong here (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Scared to be happier (hey)

Happier (hey)
Not broken (hey, hey, hey)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Happier" by YUNGBLUD, Oli Sykes, and Bring Me The Horizon explore themes of vulnerability, pain, and the fear of finding happiness. The song delves into the struggles of mental health and the difficulty of opening up to others, even when they are hurting as well. The repeated lines of "I need you more than ever, don't let me die" express a desperate plea for connection and support, highlighting the fear of being alone in one's pain.


The chorus reveals the conflicts within the singer's mind, acknowledging that they are not broken but rather scared to belong and be happier. This fear and hesitancy to embrace happiness stem from a deep-rooted sense of insecurity and the belief that they don't deserve happiness or that it may elude them. The line "I'm just a little depressed, I just need a rest" suggests that the singer is battling depression and exhaustion, longing for a break from their emotional struggles.
