HAPPIER ALONE
[Intro — quiet]
I thought I’d miss you more than this
That sounds fucked up, I know
But lately I’ve been sleeping good
I think I’m happier alone
[Verse 1 — building frustration]
I wake up and nobody’s mad at me
Nobody asking where I’ve been
I can leave my phone inside my room
And not come back for it again
I’ve been driving with the windows down
Music way too fucking loud
Used to hate when no one was around
Kinda like the silence now
And I don’t gotta read your mood
Or wonder what I did to you
Don’t gotta walk in scared to speak
Just ’cause you had a shitty week
I thought being alone would hurt
Guess I had that backwards though
I was lonely laying next to you
I’m less lonely on my own
[Male Vocal — strained]
AHHHHH—
[Pre-Chorus — softer]
I got used to all the quiet
Now I don’t want that shit to go
Funny, I was scared you’d leave me
Now I’m better on my own
[Chorus — melodic]
I think I’m happier alone
I don’t check my fucking phone
I don’t wonder where you’re at
Or who you’re taking home
I can stay out way too late
I can sleep the day away
And nobody makes me feel
Like I’m too much to fucking take
Yeah, I still got shit to fix
Still got nights that kinda suck
But I’d rather deal with me
Than keep thinking I’m not enough
I thought I needed you
Turns out I really don’t
I think I’m happier alone
[Post-Chorus — distant vocal]
Ahhh-ahhh…
Ahhh-ahhh…
[Verse 2 — more aggressive]
My room’s a mess, I’ll clean it later
Got some money I should save
I’ve been doing what I want
Without explaining every day
And I’ve met a couple people
I don’t really want them close
Not because I’m scared of loving
I just like this more, I suppose
I can disappear all weekend
I can take the long way home
Nobody blowing up my phone
Asking why I took so long
Maybe someday I’ll want somebody
Maybe someone gets that close
But for right now, if I’m being real
I’m happier alone
[Male Vocal — angry release]
AHHHHHHHHH—
FUCK—
[Beat cuts]
[Bridge — exhausted, almost spoken]
It’s weird
I used to be scared of this
Empty room
Empty bed
Nothing waiting on my texts
But it’s quiet
And I kinda fucking like it
[Instrumental Build]
Ahhh…
AHHH…
AHHHHHHH—
[Final Chorus — full emotion]
I think I’m happier alone
I don’t check my fucking phone
I don’t care where you’ve been
Or who you’re taking home
I can stay out way too late
I can sleep the day away
I’m starting to like the person
I thought you made me hate
Yeah, I still got shit to fix
Still got nights that kinda suck
But I don’t wake up every morning
Feeling like I’m not enough
I thought I needed you
Turns out I really don’t
Yeah…
I’m happier alone
[Outro — exhausted]
Ahhh-ahhh…
I thought I’d miss you more than this
I don’t.
