A Happy Song Lyrics

Sing a happy song for me
Sing a happy song for me

I didn't mean to cause you pain
I didn't mean to leave a stain
I didn't mean to say that I loved you

I never thought that I would crash
I never thought I'd turn to ash
I never thought that I would love you

Sing a happy song for me
Sing a happy song for me

I didn't mean to steal your time
I didn't mean to make you shine
I didn't mean to say that I loved you

I don't mean to be so mean
I don't mean to come so clean
But now I'm everything without you

Here's another song for you
It might not be my best tune
But all the words I say ring true
I'm everything without you
I'm everything without you
I'm everything without you
I'm everything without you
Without you

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.

Incredible song... from my perspective, I think this song is talking about how at first the singer really got sucked into his girlfriend's world... he was sorry that he'd caused her pain and that he'd let himself become so vulnerable as to fall in love...

Then in the latter part of the song, he says "I didn't mean to make you shine" and points out that he did more for her than she did for him.

"I'm everything without you" is his victory cry...

Beautiful ;(

:)
