In this poignant exploration of post-breakup emotions, Oh Wonder delves into the complex interplay of acceptance and personal growth. The lyrics depict an unexpected encounter with a former lover, evoking a sense of surprising contentment rather than anticipated pain. The protagonist reflects on their journey from heartache to healing, acknowledging the initial struggle to move on ("Spent all my weekends pretending I was fine") and the eventual realization that both parties are better off apart. The recurring theme of seeing the ex-partner with someone new serves as a litmus test for emotional recovery, highlighting that true happiness is found in letting go and embracing change. This narrative underscores the maturity required to find solace in another's happiness, ultimately celebrating self-discovery and emotional resilience.
Happy
Lyrics
(Never thought I'd be happy, happy)
(Never thought I'd be happy, happy)
I didn't think I would see you here tonight
But there's something kinda nice about it
It's been a year since you gave me back my love
And I wonder how you've been without it
You're holding someone close
Should hurt, somehow it don't
I guess that's how I know I've finally let you go
I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
Never thought I'd be happy to see you do the things we do
With somebody else, guess now
You're more yourself
Oh, I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
(Never thought I'd be happy)
(Never thought I'd be happy)
Spent all my weekends pretending I was fine
Just to get you out my mind for an evening (for an evening)
I used to wish you would never find the one
But it's good to see you loved, let's call it even
You're holding someone close
Should hurt, somehow it don't
I guess that's how I know I've finally let you go
I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
Never thought I'd be happy to see you do the things we do
With somebody else, guess now
You're more yourself
Oh, I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
So many nights of barely sleeping
Wide awake and dreaming
I wanted you back
(I wanted you back)
It's clear we're good without each other
Dancing with another
It's better like that
Never thought I'd be happy
Never thought I'd be happy
With somebody else, it's like
You're more yourself
Oh, I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
Never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
Never thought I'd be happy to see you do the things we do
With somebody else, guess now
You're more yourself
Oh, I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
