Was it music to your ears
To hear me fighting through my tears
Saying this should be the end?
I felt like I was half asleep
Saying words I don’t believe
Just to see where you would stand

You didn’t even try
To make me stop
Although you cried
It wasn’t enough
You saw what I saw and it just wasn’t working anymore

You better be happier right now
You better be standing tall and proud
You better be happier somehow
Without me
You better be
Doing what you said
Chasing dreams ‘cause I killed mine instead
Took so long to find myself again
And let it be

I don’t think you understand
The pain of burying the plans
That I thought you’d dreamed of too
Waited over years and seas
Just to know what we could be
Some dreams don’t come true

You made me say the words
That you were thinking
Didn’t even need convincing
Won in your mission to make me the one to let go

You better be happier right now
You better not have a single doubt
You better be happier somehow
Without me
You better be
Basking in success
I hope it’s worth all of your stress
I believe you’ll make it, but don’t forget
What it did to me…
What you did to me
