Happier Today

Verse 1

I saw the light fade from your eyes today

And it cut straight through my chest

You tried to hide the hurt behind your smile

But I know you better than the rest

You’re carrying the weight of every voice

That tells you who you’re supposed to be

But I wish you could see yourself the way

That you look when you’re free

Pre-Chorus

’Cause you’re stronger than the shadows

Brighter than you know

And you don’t need permission

Just to let your true self show

Chorus

I just wanna see you a little bit happier today

Wipe the tears that fall and chase the pain away

Don’t let anybody tell you how to live your life

Or say your dreams ain’t worth the fight

You’re good at what you love—don’t ever walk away

I just wanna see you a little bit happier today

Verse 2

You’ve been trying so hard to please the world

But the world don’t know your heart

They don’t see the fire in the things you love

Or the beauty in your art

And when they say to change your path

I hope you hear my voice instead

’Cause you deserve to follow all the dreams

That echo in your head

Pre-Chorus

No, you don’t need to bend just to make them stay

You were made to rise in your own way

Chorus

I just wanna see you a little bit happier today

Wipe the tears that fall and chase the pain away

Don’t let anybody tell you how to live your life

Or say your dreams ain’t worth the fight

You’re good at what you love—don’t ever walk away

I just wanna see you a little bit happier today

Bridge

And when it feels like you’re breaking

I’ll be right here, I’m not shaking

Hold your heart the way you hold your breath

Baby, you deserve the best

Don’t forget…

Final Chorus

I just wanna see you a little bit happier today

Feel the warmth return and watch the clouds fade away

No voice but yours should guide the choices that you make

Don’t let their doubts take your dreams away

You’re good at what you love—don’t ever let it fade

I just wanna see you a little bit happier today
