Turnin' down the radio station, wanna have a conversation
Pull into a parkin' lot, yeah
Feel my heart is sinkin' down, feel it in my stomach now
Like you tied it up in knots
You said, "Let's stay friends."
But who ever stays friends?
Who?
Hope I understand
But I'll tell you where I stand
Who now, yeah?
If that makes you happy, I'm happy
Not wishin' the best 'cause I wasn't for you
I guess it happens, it happens
Sometimes you win and then sometimes you lose
When you lay down at night
I hope you sleep alright
'Cause you said this and did that, took my heart, gave it back
So how do you expect me to be happy for you?
Never saw the good in bye, so I will never tell that lie
If you're gettin' out, I'll drive, yeah
Maybe you could find yourself better with someone else
Glad that I could be some help
You said, "Let's stay friends."
But who ever stays friends? (Who ever?)
Who? (Tell me, who does now?)
Hope I understand
But I'll tell you where I stand
Who, yeah?
If that makes you happy, I'm happy
Not wishin' the best 'cause I wasn't for you
I guess it happens, it happens
Sometimes you win and then sometimes you lose
When you lay down at night
I hope you sleep alright
'Cause you said this and did that, took my heart, gave it back
So how do you expect me to be happy for�??
Turnin' down the radio station, wanna have a conversation
Pull into a parkin' lot (Be happy for)
Maybe you could find yourself better with someone else
Glad I could be some help
If that makes you happy, I'm happy
Not wishin' the best 'cause I wasn't for you, yeah
I guess it happens, it happens (Oh, I guess it happens)
Sometimes you win and then sometimes you lose
When you lay down at night
I hope you sleep alright
'Cause you said this and did that, took my heart, gave it back
So how do you expect me to be happy for you?
Be happy for you?
Be happy for you?
