You Deserve To Be Happier Than Me Lyrics

I used to be self-absorbed

I only cared how I felt, I only cared how I felt

I should have thought about you

Your state of mind as well

As far as you are involved

This is your journey

Should be your story

I'm just a passenger

I'm doing fine but I wanna know more about all of your thoughts and your reflections

Your selfless sacrifices, your courageous decisions

If there's one other person that deserves to be happier than me

It's you mom, are you happier than me

It's on you to be happier than me

Deep inside I'm as sad as can be

If you don't feel as happy as me

At our darkest moments you stayed strong and resilient

Even though I looked gloomy I never was indifferent

I am thankful for your decision because I'm still alive

And the worst is behind us today

Now we're closing the page of a chapter

New life new dreams what we're after

With a newfound purpose and a new perspective

Seeking freedom like slaves running from the captors

Sometimes I still look back to a time

Where life was tainted my view was jaded being happy faded

Old life we trade it we're done we made it

In a more appropriate place, our saving grace

My mother and I, as we embrace

I may feel reborn, but you deserve it more

I was sad back then, but you were for sadder for sure

After all, you were a single mother

Raising two sons with a dead father

In a town with no friends, no stable job

No life direction for the helpless fob

That's a hardship that deserves a prize

You survived the worst, I'll never hear your cries

There's a calming peacefulness, happy vibes

Now enjoy your life, under blue skies

I'm a grown man now, life planned out

We press on you gotta understand how

Far we've come we've built a better life

In a better place with the past erased

At our darkest moments you stayed strong and resilient

Even though I looked gloomy I never was indifferent

I am thankful for your decision because I'm still alive

And the worst is behind us today
