Happier Than Me
Navigating the Turbulent Depths of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
I looked at your picture
I observed an image of you
To see what you had done
To understand your actions
Opened up my chest and took
I opened up emotionally and took
A bullet from a gun
A metaphorical impact, akin to a gunshot wound
When I looked at your picture
When I revisited your image
It catapulted me
It emotionally overwhelmed me
Never loved, no, never lost,
I've never experienced love or loss
Oh, I’m stuck in the between
Now, I find myself stuck in uncertainty
I can’t let you be
I cannot allow you to
Happier than me
Be happier than I am
I can’t let you know
I cannot reveal
How far I have let myself go
The extent to which I've deteriorated
I watched from a distance
I observed from a distance
To see how you had grown
To witness your growth
It breaks my heart to watch him reap
It pains me to see him enjoy
The seeds that I had sown
The fruits of my efforts
I watched from a distance
I observed from afar
Though it tears me through
Even though it causes me great pain
Oh I’d rather weep and wilt than lose
I would rather suffer and wither than
My only link to you
Lose my only connection to you
I can’t let you be
I cannot allow you to
Happier than me
Be happier than I am
I can’t let you know
I cannot reveal
How far I have let myself go
The extent to which I've deteriorated
I can’t stand to see
I cannot bear to witness
You away from me
You being distant from me
I can’t let you go
I cannot let you go
Till I like walk away from your window
Until I can move away from your presence
I can’t let you be
I cannot allow you to
Happier than me
Be happier than I am
I can’t let you know
I cannot reveal
How far I have let myself go
The extent to which I've deteriorated
