Happily Lyrics

You don't understand, you don't understand
What you do to me when you hold his hand
We were meant to be but a twist of fate
Made it so we had to walk away

'Cause we're on fire, we are on fire
We're on fire now
We're on fire, we are on fire
We're on fire now

(1, 2, 3)

I don't care what people say when we're together
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep
I just want it to be you and I forever
I know you wanna leave so c'mon baby be with me so happily

It's four A.M. and I know that you're with him
I wonder if he knows that I touched your skin
And if he feels my traces in your hair
Sorry, love, but I don't really care

'Cause we're on fire, we are on fire
We're on fire now
We're on fire, we are on fire
We're on fire now

(1, 2, 3)

So happily

1, 2, 3, 4.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're on fire now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're on fire now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're on fire now

You don't understand, you don't understand
What you do to me when you hold his hand
We were meant to be but a twist of fate
Made it so we had to walk away

We're on fire now
We're on fire, we are on fire
We're on fire now

(1, 2, 3)

It's four A.M. and I know that you're with him
I wonder if he knows that I touched your skin
And if he feels my traces in your hair
Sorry, love, but I don't really care

'Cause we're on fire, we are on fire
We're on fire now
We're on fire, we are on fire
We're on fire now

(1, 2, 3)

So happily

1, 2, 3, 4.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're on fire now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're on fire now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're on fire now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about two people who aren't necessarily in a relationship but do care deeply about each other (I can't help but see it as a girl and a boy who are best friends). The girl is already in a relationship so whatever they have is forbidden for the time being but they (more so the singer) doesn't care. They're closeness already is being judged (leads me back to the best friend thing because people say that a girl and boy can't be "just friends") by those around them. The line "I know you wanna leave" could possibly allude to her being unhappy in her relationship (obviously if you're in love with someone else) or just tired of being judged and in the public eye.

Overall this is a sweet song about going for the one you love regardless of the outside circumstances. If you love them enough you'll go for it no matter what.

The person talked about in the song is in a relationship, but clearly wants to be with somebody else. So they act on it, and don't care about what people think or what the future soon-to-be-single person thinks. They just have to be together, because they make each other happy.

I think this is about a couple that are judged negatively regardless to them being "on fire" or hot together. One of them ends the relationship because they couldn't take it anymore. They move on but they know its not as real as it was then
