In the delicate dance of love and longing, Ben Platt captures the bittersweet beauty of separation. This song is a heartfelt ode to the paradox of emotions that come with loving deeply. Waking up beside someone who gives you strength, only to remember their imminent departure, creates a poignant armor that crumbles away. Yet, this time there's no heartbreak or turmoil—just a temporary ache that signifies a love so profound it leaves an indelible mark. The tears shed are not of despair but of gratitude for having experienced such an extraordinary connection. Platt eloquently expresses that feeling sad when apart is a testament to the depth and authenticity of their bond. In essence, he's embracing the sorrow as a beautiful reminder of how lucky he is to have loved so intensely.
happy to be sad
Lyrics
Waking up beside you brings a kind of refuge
It's the armor that I need to face the day
For a second I forgot that you were leaving soon
Then the armor falls away
This time there's no broken hearts
And no one ran 'cause it got hard
This missing you is temporary pain
I'm happy to be sad
I'm sad that you are gone
If I was feeling nothing
I would feel like something's wrong
I'm grateful to be crying
I'm crying over you
I'm lucky that we love so good
It has to hurt this bad
I'm happy to be sad
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Only me, myself and all my thoughts I thought that I would
Start to crumble in the lonely (start to crumble in lone)
But I'll get to know the momentary misery
Just to know somebody knows me, yeah
This time there's no hopeless nights
No losing sleep, no pointless fights
Just missing you 'til you come back and hold me
I'm happy to be sad (sad)
I'm sad that you are gone (gone)
If I was feeling nothing
I would feel like something's wrong
I'm grateful to be crying (crying)
Crying over you (you)
I'm lucky that we love so good
It has to hurt this bad
I'm happy to be sad (sad)
Do, do, do, do (gone)
Do, do, do, do (I)
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
I'm happy to be sad (sad)
Do, do, do, do (gone)
Do, do, do, do (I)
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
I'm happy to be sad (sad)
I'm sad that you are gone
If I was feeling nothing
I would feel like something's wrong
I'm grateful to be crying (crying)
Crying over you (you)
I'm lucky that we love so good
It has to hurt this bad
I'm happy to be sad (sad)
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
(Sad)
Do, do, do, do (gone)
Do, do, do, do (I)
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
(Sad)
Do, do, do, do (gone)
Do, do, do, do (I)
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
(Sad)
Do, do, do, do (gone)
Do, do, do, do (I)
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
(Sad)
Do, do, do, do (gone)
Do, do, do, do (I)
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
(Sad)
Do, do, do, do (gone)
Do, do, do, do (I)
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
(Sad)
Do, do, do, do (gone)
Do, do, do, do
