Happy Again

(album: bub - 2023)

You took the L train
I took that trip to Japan
I leaned on every one of my friends
And you moved on, yeah
And I just watched you pretend
Pretend that you were happy again

You laughed so hard you spilled a glass of wine
I took a mental picture of the crime
I should have known that you wouldn't be there when it dried
We took a break, you took your time
I'm texting Abi, panicking, asking her "What's on your mind?"
I should have known
I should have known that something ain't right

You took the L train
I took that trip to Japan
I leaned on every one of my friends
And you moved on, yeah
And I just watched you pretend
Pretend that you were happy again
Again, again, again, again
So I pretend I'm happy again
Again, again, again, again

Saw you're in Vegas and it's no surprise
That I'm running through every possibility in my mind
I shouldn't call, I probably shouldn't call. Right?
Now I'm thinking about how we never went out
How I tend to let you down sometimes
Wonder if it's too late, tell me if I'm in the way?
Never was too good at reading signs
I should've known that someone else was calling you "mine"

You took the L train
I took that trip to Japan
I leaned on every one of my friends
And you moved on, yeah
And I just watched you pretend
Pretend that you were happy again
Again, again, again, again
So I pretend I'm happy again
Again, again, again, again

And no matter what you told him
It's not my fault that you're broken
Yeah, no matter what you told him
We were great we were golden
And no matter what you told him
It's not my fault that you're broken
Yeah, no matter what you told him
We were great we were golden

You took the L train
I took that trip to Japan
Then you moved on yeah and I just watched you pretend
