[Verse 1]
I guess I wasn't ready to run into you here
Kinda hoped it wouldn't be until sometime next year
I probably should've known going somewhere we used to go
Am I the only one hearing you laugh too loud?
Do you really have to act like you don't know me now
Sipping on a whiskey neat like you want everyone to see
I ain't the one on your arm
[Chorus]
You broke my heart, I felt it stop
Now I can't walk into my favorite coffee shop
I know you all too well, I can tell that you're happier
I just wanted to be happy first
[Verse 2]
It's not like I еxpected that this wouldn't be hard
But I guеss I sorta thought you'd give me half a head start
You're pulling her close, making sure that I know
You are who I thought you were (Yeah)
[Chorus]
You broke my heart, I felt it stop
Now I can't walk into my favorite coffee shop
I know you all too well, I can tell that you're happier
I just wanted to be happy
[Bridge]
We both said things in that beat up car
And we should've slowed down, we took it too far
Don't get me wrong, oh, I hope it works out with her
I just wanted to be happy first, mm-mm
I wanted to be happy first
[Chorus]
You broke my heart, I felt it stop
Now I can't walk into my favorite coffee shop
I know you all too well, I can tell that you're happier
I just wanted to be happy
[Outro]
You're holding hands in this smoky bar
Yeah, I knew it'd be bad, but God, I hate this part
Don't get me wrong, oh, I hope it works out with her
I just wanted to be happy first
Oh, oh, I wanted to be happy first
I just wanted to be happy
