[Verse 1]
Don't think that I've forgotten all the ways you did me wrong
But my friends are tired of hearing 'bout how you are satans spawn
So I've done a lot of thinking and I wanna wish you well
Just to prove how much I've grown since I told you to go to hell
[Chorus 1]
I want you to be happy
Just not quite as happy as you could have been if you had stayed with me
And I hope that you're successful
Like maybe not your dream job but a really solid second choice with a smaller salary
And I know one day you'll meet a girl
I bet she'll be dumb and average looking
So when I compare myself to her
I won't feel so sad 'bout what we might have had
That would make me happy
[Verse 2]
On Instagram I've hidden how much I have been a mess
I post pictures with mimosas, captioned "I'm so #blessed"
I confess that I've been lying, it's time that I come clean
'Cause I've really turned a corner, let me tell you what I mean
[Chorus 2]
I want you to be happy
Just not quite as happy as I plan on being with somebody else
And oh, he'll be successful but doing what he loves
Because unlike you he knows that there is so much more to life than wealth
And when you find out I met a guy, I bet you'll get drunk and then try to call me
But I'll tell you I don't have the time to hear your regrets 'cause I couldn't care less
That would make me happy
[Bridge]
And screw it, why do I have to pretend that I want the best for you?
'Cause if I'm being honest that is so far from the truth
'Cause you deserve to be
[Chorus 3]
Unhappy
And if there's any justice karma's coming soon to bite you in the ass
'Cause we had something awesome
And if you couldn't see it well you should pause this song and go have your dumb eyes checked
And when you finally realize that you had it good when we were together
It will be too late to make it right
I won't want to makeup because I won the breakup
That would make me happy
Yes, that would make me happy
