Lyrics

Happier Alone

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

I swear your energy is bringing me down
I thought I liked you, but I'm questioning how
Taking my sunshine and you flip it around
And you were smouldering, but now it's sinking in
You're just a dark, dark cloud

And all you seem to know is the worst case scenario
Is it in my head or, deep down, do I know?

I think I'd be happier alone
I think I sleep better on my own
And I'm not gonna miss all the negative
Even when you said I won't
I think I'd be happier
I think I'd be happier alone

Getting excited by the littlest thing (yeah, yeah)
Like making matcha and the lilac in spring, hmm
Not gonna have to worry 'bout what you're gonna think
Can I finally, can I finally fully open my wings?

When all you seem to know is the worst case scenario
Is it in my head or, deep down, do I know-ow-ow?

I think I'd be happier alone
I think I sleep better on my own
And I'm not gonna miss all the negative
Even when you said I won't
I think I'd be happier
I think I'd be happier alone
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

When all you seem to know is the worst case scenario
Is it in my head or, deep down, did I always know?

I think I'd be happier alone
I think I sleep better on my own
And I'm not gonna miss all the negative
Even when you said I won't
I think I'd be happier
I think I'd be happier alone

All you seem to know is the worst case scenario (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Time for me to go, time for me to go
Is it time for me to go?
Ooh
