Laye calls her newest single “Unhappier” the “heart” of her upcoming EP. She says this song is what shaped the EP and was a huge reference point to the recording sessions following the recording of “Unhappier”
[Verse]
Picture perfect that the worst of you
Always saying no when you know and I knew
Never been so high or so blue
You say that you feel it too
[Pre-Chorus]
So how could you, how could you go and fall for that?
How could she, how could she compare to what we had?
[Chorus]
I hope you’re unhappier
Think of me when you're in her
She's making you miss me more
(I hope you are unhappier)
So do you go back and forth
Like your hearts still stuck at war
When sparks fly I hope it burns
(I hope you are unhappier)
[Verse]
If shes your type then what was I?
Do you like her height and her bright blue eyеs?
She's petite and so sweet worst of all shе's not me
So how good can it really be?
[Pre-Chorus]
So how could you, how could you go and fall for that?
How could she, how could she compare to what we had?
[Chorus]
I hope you’re unhappier
Think of me when you're in her
She's making you miss me more
(I hope you are unhappier)
So do you go back and forth
Like your hearts still stuck at war
When sparks fly I hope it burns
(I hope you are unhappier)
[Bridge]
Oh how could you want someone new?
You don't need to
(I hope you’re unhappier)
Oh how could you want someone new?
Oh if you do (I hope you are unhappier)
[Chorus]
I hope you’re unhappier
Think of me when you're in her
She's making you miss me more
(I hope you are unhappier)
So do you go back and forth
Like your hearts still stuck at war
When sparks fly I hope it burns
(I hope you are unhappier)
