| Snow Patrol – You Could Be Happy Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song means everything to me at the moment. I was dumped by my gf of 4 months on Christmas Day for someone else (dunno if they are having a relationship). I really love her and she said that she loved me. This song is really helping me get over it. I just love the lyrics. This is one of the best songs i have ever heard. I never expected to hear lyrics that give such a wondeful message and express so much emotion. Every line echoes what i am feeling. "Somehow everything I own smells of you And for the tiniest moment it's all not true" Perfect. This captures the feeling of despair when someone you really love leaves you. You really wish that things were different. Every thought, every thing makes you think of them and there is so much hurt that you wish it all wasnt true. Why did it have to happen? "You could be happy, I hope you are You made me happier than I'd been by far" She made me so amazingly happy when we were together. Better than anything i ever knew. The only way all this can be better is if at least one of us is happy. "Do the things that you always wanted to Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do" She says the she wasnt happy in our realtionship. I am sure she wanted to go off and experience new things and not be tied down with me. I want her to go an do all those things. Part of me wonders if there is a chance that we could be together again after she has found out about the world. I guess this is the hint of regret and hope that we could be together again expressed in the beginning of the song. Slowly you come to the conclusion that it is best to just let go. I think the song is about someone loving the other person so much that he wants to see them happy so much that he is happy for her to not be with him. If we loved someone so much then surely this is the only thing that we can do for them after they have gone? Still makes me think how much i miss her and how much i still love her. |
