Are You Happy Now
Reflections on Letting Go: Are You Truly Happy Now?
Lyrics
I'm really trying to make the most of the moments that I have with you
I'm making an effort to cherish the moments we have together.
'Cos one day you could just be gone
Realizing that one day you might be absent from my life.
Most of the time it's really hard for me to think about you going, but
It's difficult for me to contemplate your departure, but it's necessary for preparation.
If I don't, then how am I gonna be prepared for when it happens
Considering the importance of thinking about your departure for readiness.
In the end I think I'm just gonna have to accept that unfortunately, that's how things work
Accepting the unfortunate reality that such separations are a part of life.
You said you'd never leave my side
You promised not to leave, but I suspect it was untrue.
How did I know it was a lie
Expressing doubt about the sincerity of the promise.
Are you happy now
Questioning if the other person is currently content or satisfied.
Are you happy now
Repeating the question about the person's current state of happiness.
That you let me down
Acknowledging that the person has disappointed and let down.
Yeah you let me down
Reiterating the feeling of being let down by the person.
And every single word you said
Reflecting on every word said before the departure.
I thought about before you left
Thoughts about the person's words before departure linger in the mind.
Are you happy now
Asking again if the person is currently happy after causing disappointment.
Are you happy now
Repeating the question about the person's current state of happiness.
That you let me down
Highlighting the impact of being let down by the person.
Yeah you let me down
Expressing the emotional letdown caused by the person.
My thoughts are changing now you're gone
Thoughts and perspectives are changing now that the person is no longer present.
I see it clearly now who's wrong
Clear realization of who is at fault in the situation.
But are you happy now
Questioning if the person is happy now that the speaker is not around.
That I'm not around
Expressing the absence and questioning the person's happiness in that absence.
'Cos you let me down
Emphasizing the feeling of being let down by the person.
Yeah you let me down
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person's departure.
When you were leaving
Recalling the moment of departure.
I didn't want you to go
Reluctance and sadness about the person leaving.
But now I'm feeling
Feeling that being alone is better after the departure.
I'm better off on my own
Reflecting on the positive change in emotions after being alone.
And now I wonder
Expressing curiosity about the person's current state of happiness.
Are you happy now
Questioning if the person is currently happy.
When you were leaving
Recalling the desire for the person to stay when leaving.
I wanted you to stay
Expressing the wish for the person to have stayed.
But now I'm feeling
Feeling that being alone is better in the current situation.
I'm better off this way
Reflecting on the positive change in emotions after the departure.
And now I wonder
Expressing curiosity about the person's current state of happiness.
Are you happy now
Repeating the question about the person's current state of happiness.
Are you happy now
Continuing to question if the person is currently happy.
Are you happy now
Repeatedly asking if the person is happy now.
Are you happy now
Continuing to inquire about the person's current happiness.
Are you happy now
Continued questioning about the person's current state of happiness.
I wonder are you happy now
Expressing wonder about whether the person is currently happy.
I wonder are you happy now
Reiterating the wonder about the person's current state of happiness.
I wonder are you happy now
Continuing to wonder if the person is currently happy.
I wonder are you happy now
Persistently wondering about the person's current state of happiness.
