Happier

She looks a little bit like me, same hair, eyes almost green
But I bet she has what I'm missing
Can hear you over the movie, your voices carry to me
I left 'cause I couldn't listen

Shared glances, your smile that could light up this whole small town
I was doing pretty well, but when I saw you with her
I couldn't help but think

At one point, my eyes were on the screen
And when you thought I wasn't looking yours were on me
We were happy
At least I thought you were happy
At one point, it was our final scene
The credits rolled, I couldn't clap after the tragedy
but you're happy
I really hope that you're happier with her

Everybody loves you, how could they not?
Sometimes I wish you'd just do something wrong
When your name comes up, I tune my feelings out
Try to react like everyone else

It's over, I've known that for a while, but it's insult to injury
When you walk past, right to her, a misdirect I fell for easily

At one point, my eyes were on the screen
And when you thought I wasn't looking yours were on me
We were happy
I really thought you were happy
At one point, it was our final scene
The credits rolled, I couldn't clap after the tragedy
But you're happy
I really hope that you're happier with her

Faces on film were tarnished by light
The reel plays over again in my mind
It's a ruined art, the way the photos fade
It's your happy ending
I'm out of frame

At one point, it seemed like we were meant to be
But I pulled back the curtain of illusion, now I see
You weren't happy
With me
At one point, it was our final scene
I didn't see it coming, the plot twisted the knife so deep
But you're happy
And that's what I needed to see
