Lauren Babic - I Hope You’re Happy Lyrics

I was afraid I was a martyr
Dying to be a perfect daughter
As I tried to stay true
Hiding away pieces of me always
Hurting myself, saving my face every time
I stayed true

I wish with every bone in my body
You really cared about me
I’m still here…
And you were nothing more than what you ever gave
But I hope you’re happy

The moments slip through my hands
The years reduced into sand
Did you know when it all began?
To love is to understand
That I was part of the plan
If you knew, would you take it back?

I’ll wipe all the tears that I have shed
And put on a smile to play pretend
In secret, I’ll mend the damage close to my chest

I wish with every bone in my body
You really cared about me
I’m still here…
And you are nothing more than what you ever gave
And I hope you’re happy

The moments slip through my hands
The years reduced into sand
Did you know when it all began?
To love is to understand
That I was part of the plan
If you knew, would you take it back?

I never wanted more
Than an open door
And an open heart
I’ll keep holding on
I did nothing wrong
I only wanted love
Because I am enough
But I hope you’re happy
I hope you’re happy

The moments slip through my hands
The years reduced into sand
Did you know when it all began?
To love is to understand
That I was part of the plan
If you knew, would you take it back?
