“If You’re Happy” (A Love Song to My Ex-Fiancé)

Lyrics

Verse 1: I used to hear your heartbeat In the quiet of the night I never thought I’d lose it Never thought I’d lose the light You gave me all your love, girl I just let it slip away Now I see you standing distant And I don’t know what to say Pre-Chorus: I should’ve held you closer I should’ve fought to stay Now I watch the way you smile And wonder if it’s real today Chorus: If you’re happy, that’s all I need Even if it ain’t with me I’d give the world just to see you shine Even if it means you’re not mine I was blind, now I see You deserved so much more from me And if your heart has found its way I’ll love you enough to let you stay… or walk away Verse 2: I see our little girl now She’s got your eyes, your grace She asks me why you’re different Why you don’t laugh the same And I just hold her tightly Say, “Mama’s strong and kind” But deep inside I’m breaking ‘Cause I know I crossed the line Pre-Chorus: I should’ve held you closer I should’ve fought to stay Now I pray that love still finds you Even if I’m in the way Chorus: If you’re happy, that’s all I need Even if it ain’t with me I’d give the world just to see you shine Even if it means you’re not mine I was blind, now I see You deserved so much more from me And if your heart has found its way I’ll love you enough to let you stay… or walk away Bridge: But if there’s still a spark left in you A place where I belong I’d spend forever proving I could right what I did wrong But if it’s too late to change things I won’t stand in your way Just promise me you’ll be happy That’s all I need to say Outro: If you’re happy, that’s all I need Even if it ain’t with me I’ll hold my love in quiet pain And love you enough to let you stay… or walk away
