​​you better be

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Oh-oh
Mmm-mmm
