[Verse 1]
You’re laughing in a stranger’s arms
Spilling secrets into plastic cups
You tilt your head
That crinkle in your eyes
I used to be the reason you lit up
I’m standing in the back of the bar
Praying that you never look my way
Every joke he tells
Another knife
Guess you finally made it past the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I was busy chasing every lie
You were busy learning how to fly
Now you’re glowing in a room I dimmed
Tell me
Do you even think of him? (hey)
[Chorus]
Happy looks better on you
Even when it rips me in two
I broke the best thing I ever knew
Now I’m the shadow in your rear-view
I swear I’m done with the games
I’d burn my pride
Wash off the stains
I’ll rewrite every dumb thing I do
If you’d let me be the one for you
[Verse 2]
Your friends still send me drunk texts
“Man
You really messed it up”
Scroll your page and every single post
Feels like you’re telling me you’ve had enough
New haircut
Same crooked smile
Same tattoo peeking from your sleeve
How’s he holding what I threw away
How’s he loving what I didn’t keep?
[Pre-Chorus]
All the nights I left you on read
Now they scream on loop in my head
You were begging me to let you in
I was busy trying to feel a win
[Chorus]
Happy looks better on you
Even when it rips me in two
I broke the best thing I ever knew
Now I’m the shadow in your rear-view
I swear I’m done with the games
I’d burn my pride
Wash off the stains
I’ll rewrite every dumb thing I do
If you’d let me be the one for you
[Bridge]
I’ll delete their numbers
Change my phone
Call my mother
Tell her I was wrong
Hit the church steps
Hit the floor
I’d do anything
Anything more
You don’t owe me one more try
You don’t even have to say goodbye
But if there’s one small crack of light
I’ll crawl through
I’ll crawl through (oh)
[Chorus]
Happy looks better on you
Even if I’m not there too
But I can’t stand a life where it’s true
That I taught you how to love
Then lose
I swear I’m done with the games
I’d wear the blame
Speak your name
Like a prayer I’m begging to prove
If you’d let me
I’d be better for you
