Happy without me

(Intro)

Yeah…

We said we’d stay cool, keep it light, just friends, right?

But some bridges don’t hold when they burned that bright…

⸻

(Verse 1)

We tried to build peace from the pieces we broke,

But the past kept speakin’, couldn’t quiet that ghost.

Every time you smiled, I saw pain in your eyes,

Like my name was a scar that you couldn’t disguise.

We laughed for a bit, then the silence crept in,

Both tryna act healed but we both still sinned.

I left you in flames when you needed my calm,

Now I’m stuck with regret like ink on my palms.

(Pre-Chorus)

I thought time could rewind what I shattered in you,

But every “how you been” felt like déjà vu.

We said “let’s be friends,” but it’s clear we can’t be,

’Cause your peace was the price, and I charged it with me.

⸻

(Chorus)

I’m sorry for the weight that I made you carry,

For the love that I dropped when it got too heavy.

I was broken inside, couldn’t see your pain,

Now I’m hoping you dance in the light again.

Don’t look back, don’t wait for me,

You deserve that peace, you deserve to be free.

If you ever smile and it ain’t ‘cause of me,

Then I finally did right—go be happy without me.

⸻

(Verse 2)

You used to say love’s a war we can win,

But my fears pulled the pin, I blew up within.

I was runnin’ from the truth, hidin’ in pride,

Blamed the world for my flaws when they lived inside.

Now I see your posts, you look healed, you glow,

I’m clappin’ from afar ‘cause I need you to grow.

I could call, but I won’t, that’s respect, not fear,

You found peace without the pain I brought near.

(Bridge)

It’s crazy how closure comes quiet and late,

Not a text or a call, just acceptin’ your fate.

If love means lettin’ go so they find their way,

Then I’m lettin’ you go with nothin’ to say.

⸻

(Chorus)

I’m sorry for the weight that I made you carry,

For the love that I dropped when it got too heavy.

I was broken inside, couldn’t see your pain,

Now I’m hoping you dance in the light again.

Don’t look back, don’t wait for me,

You deserve that peace, you deserve to be free.

If you ever smile and it ain’t ‘cause of me,

Then I finally did right—go be happy without me.

⸻

(Outro)

Yeah… maybe one day we’ll both understand,

Some love ain’t forever—it’s just a helping hand.

You showed me myself, the best and the worst,

Now I’m grateful, even if it still hurts.

So this is my peace, my last melody,

I’m proud of your light—

Go be happy without me.
