Lyrics

happier without you

Sitting on the sofa with the TV low
Made a list of things to collect my thoughts
'Cause I always forget myself
When I see your face, I lose my place
You only seem to care how it affects you
Then don't even notice it's affecting me
Ignoring my wants and my needs
You don't even see I'm hurting

I don't know what I'm feeling right now
I'm almost scared to say this out loud

What if loving you's unhealthy?
Would I feel good being away from you?
What I'm saying's kinda crazy
But what if I can make me happier without you?
Should we maybe do our own thing?
Are we staying where we're not supposed to?
Scared it's gonna make you hate me
But what if I can make me happier without you?

It really doesn't mean that I don't love you
I'm sorry if it feels kind of out of the blue
But there have been so many times
Where I've really tried to talk to you
I think it'd might be over, guess it's me who has to call it
Don't wanna break 'cause you're not ready to change yet
I know you sense it 'cause I've been acting distant
And I need some space

The only way to leave no room for doubt (no room for doubt)
Is if I finally say this out loud

What if loving you's unhealthy?
Would I feel good being away from you?
What I'm saying's kinda crazy
But what if I can make me happier without you?
Should we maybe do our own thing?
Are we staying where we're not supposed to?
Scared it's gonna make you hate me
But what if I can make me happier without you?

Ooh, ooh
Happier without you
Ooh, ooh
Happier without you
Ooh, ooh
Happier without you
Ooh, ooh
Happier without you

Maybe loving you's unhealthy
'Cause I feel good being away from you
What I'm saying's not that crazy
'Cause lately I've been happy, happier without you
Think I'm gonna do my own thing
We've been staying where we're not supposed to
I'm sure that this'll make you hate me
But I know I can make me happier without you
