Happy For You Lyrics – Jasmine Thompson
Happy For You Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jasmine Thompson]
Don't wanna be the bottle that keeps a ship from sea
Don't wanna be a cage that keeps a bird from being free
Don't wanna keep a singer from a melody
Yeah, baby, that was you and me
[Chorus: Jasmine Thompson]
I wish I was heartless and kept you as mine
I wish it were my hands that held you at night
But all of the love that you wanted for us
You found it in someone new
So I'm not happy
But I'm happy for you
[Verse 2: Jasmine Thompson]
Just look at that smile, it's one I've never seen
You laugh a lot more than you did with me
Half of me knows we're not a perfect match
Half me let you go, half me wants you back
Oh, I feel so stupid, sitting here losing you when
[Chorus: Jasmine Thompson]
I could'vе been heartless and kept you as minе
I wish it were my hands that held you at night
But all of the love that you wanted for us
You found it in someone new
But I'm not happy
But I'm happy for you
[Bridge: Jasmine Thompson]
Moving on, finding somebody else
Maybe I'll find somebody else too
Baby, I only want the best for you
[Chorus: Jasmine Thompson]
But I wish I was heartless and kept you as mine
I wish it were my hands that held you at night
But all of the love that you wanted for us
You found it in someone new
So I'm not happy
But I'm happy for you
No, I'm not happy
But I'm happy for you

The lyrics delve into feelings of regret, longing, and the bittersweet realization that letting go is necessary for both parties to move forward.
[Verse 1]
In this section, the singer expresses a desire to not hold back their partner from pursuing their own path and happiness. They use metaphors like "bottle that keeps a ship from sea" and "cage that keeps a bird from being free" to illustrate the idea of not wanting to restrict their partner's freedom or potential. The mention of not wanting to hinder a singer from their melody signifies not wanting to impede their partner's expression or passion.
[Chorus]
Here, the singer reflects on their conflicting emotions. They express a wish to have been emotionally detached ("heartless") to keep their partner with them. The desire to have been the one holding their partner at night highlights the longing for physical closeness. Despite these wishes, the singer acknowledges that their partner found the love they desired with someone else, leading to feelings of unhappiness but also acceptance and happiness for their partner's newfound love.
[Verse 2]

They express feeling foolish for losing their partner despite the internal conflict.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the conflicting emotions expressed earlier. The singer reiterates their wish to have been able to keep their partner while acknowledging that their partner found love elsewhere.
