You Could Be Happy
Unspoken Longings: A Reflective Journey Through 'You Could Be Happy'
Lyrics
You could be happy and I won't know
You may have found happiness, and I wouldn't be aware of it.
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
On the day you left, you were not happy, and I witnessed your departure.
And all the things that I wished I had not said
I regret the things I said, and they haunt my thoughts.
Are played in loops till it's madness in my head
Repetitive thoughts of my regret play in my mind until it becomes maddening.
Is it too late to remind you how we were?
Is it too late to remind you of the positive aspects of our past relationship?
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Our final days were marked by silence, screaming, and a blur of emotions.
Most of what I remember makes me sure
Memories confirm that I should have prevented your departure.
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
I should have stopped you from leaving.
You could be happy, I hope you are
I wish for your happiness, and I hope you've found it.
You made me happier than I'd been by far
You brought more happiness into my life than ever before.
Somehow everything I own smells of you
Remnants of you are present in everything I own.
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
For a brief moment, the reality of your absence feels untrue.
Do the things that you always wanted to
Take the opportunity to pursue your desires without my influence holding you back.
Without me there to hold you back; don't think, just do
Encouragement to act on your wishes without hesitation.
More than anything I want to see you, girl
A strong desire to see you and witness your joy in experiencing life.
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
Encouragement to embrace life fully and savor its richness.
