Happy First
Heartbreak's Symphony: Longing for Happiness
Lyrics
I guess I wasn't ready to run into you here
Encountering the person unexpectedly
Kinda hoped it wouldn't be until sometime next year
Had hoped not to meet until later
I probably should've known
Realization of a missed cue
Going somewhere we used to go
Going to places from the past
Am I the only one hearing you laugh too loud
Sensing their joy loudly
Do you really have to act like you don't know me now
Acting as if not acquainted
Sipping on a whiskey neat
Drinking conspicuously
Like you want everyone to see
Wanting attention
I aint the one on your arm
Not the chosen one
You broke my heart
Emotional distress caused
I felt it stop
Felt heartbreak acutely
Now I cant walk into my favorite coffee shop
Avoiding a significant place
I know you all too well
Familiarity with the person's traits
And I cant tell that you're happier
Perceiving their increased happiness
I just wanted to be happy first
Desire to find personal happiness first
It's not like I expected that this wouldn't be hard
Anticipated difficulty
But I guess I sorta thought you'd give me half a head start
Expected some consideration
But you're pulling her close
Getting close to someone new
Making sure that I know
Intentional display for recognition
You are who I thought you were
Confirmation of known behavior
You broke my heart
Intense emotional impact
I felt it stop
Physical sensation of heartbreak
Now I cant walk into my favorite coffee shop
Associated place now uncomfortable
I know you all too well
Familiarity with their demeanor
And I cant tell that you're happier
Observing their increased happiness
I just wanted to be happy
Desiring personal happiness
We both said things in that beat-up car
Both said regretful things
And we should've slowed down
Should have taken things slower
But we took it too far
Escalation beyond appropriate limits
don't get me wrong
Clarification of intentions
I hope it works out with her
Wishing them well with someone else
I just wanted to be happy first
Desiring personal happiness foremost
Oh I wanted to be happy first
Strong desire for personal happiness initially
You broke my heart
Emotional distress caused
I felt it stop
Felt heartbreak acutely
Now I cant walk into my favorite coffee shop
Avoiding a significant place
I know you all too well
Familiarity with their traits
And I cant tell that you're happier
Observing their increased happiness
I just wanted to be happy
Desiring personal happiness
You're holding hands
Physical intimacy observed
In this smoky bar
Anticipated negative outcome
Yeah I knew it'd be bad
Disliking this particular phase
But God I hate this part
Emotional dislike for this situation
Don't get me wrong
Wishing them well with someone else
I hope it works out with her
Desiring personal happiness foremost
I just wanted to be happy first
Desiring personal happiness initially
Oh I wanted to be happy first
Strong desire for personal happiness initially
I just wanted to be happy
Desire for personal happiness
