Lyrics

Happier

[Verse 1]

I've noticed a difference

In the way you hold your head

Think we're getting better

Put all these fights to bed

[Pre-Chorus]

I found all my trust, picked it up off the ground

Dusted it off, and forgot all about

The stranger who took something that belonged to me

A night with my love, but I let it be

[Chorus]

Your smile is going further, your eyes are looking bright

Darling, you look happier, but something isn't right

It hits me in the stomach and wraps my heart up tight

Darling, you look happier 'cause you've been with her tonight

[Verse 2]

I know I seem crazy

Like a part of my mind has gone

I've always loved seeing you happy

Even though the reason's so wrong

[Pre-Chorus]

It hits me in waves, I'm fine then I break

I thought we were safe, I love to forget

[Chorus]

Your smile is going further, your eyes are looking bright

Darling, you look happier, but something isn't right

It hits me in the stomach and wraps my heart up tight

Darling, you look happier 'cause you've been with her tonight

[Bridge]

And I wish I didn't know 'cause ignorance is bliss

And I wouldn't think about all the phone calls that you missed

What you were really doing, who's filling up your heart

And breaking mine

[Chorus]

Your smile is going further, your eyes are looking bright

Darling, you look happier, but something isn't right

It hits me in the stomach and wraps my heart up tight

Darling, you look happier 'cause you've been with her tonight
