Lyrics Happier - MTV Unplugged - Bastille

Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

When the morning comes
And we see what we've become
In the cold light of day, they're a flame in the wind
Not the fire that we've begun
Every argument, every word we can't take back
'Cause with the all that has happened
I think that we both know the way that this story ends

Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind 'cause
This just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave, yeah

I know that means I'll have to leave
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

When the evening falls
And I'm left there with my thoughts
And the image of you being with someone else
Well, that's eating me up inside
But we run our course, we pretend that we're okay
Now if we jump together at least we can swim
Far away from the wreck we made

Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind 'cause
This just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave, yeah

I know that means I'll have to leave
'Cause lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go

Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Even though I might not like this
I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier

Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind 'cause
This just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave (hey)

Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

I think we got away with it
Okay, Charlie, who do you want to say thank you to tonight?
That's the wrong microphone
All of these amazing people
We've got Rebecca, Senna, Patrice over on this side
Thank you so much
In particular thank you to Rebecca for putting up with my terrible, terrible scoring work
That I had to get somebody to help me with
My boy Jack Duxbury

We got Mikey and Guy over there
We got our secret weapon Ollie Ziko on the additional percussions
And, uh, and also, obviously to all of our
All of our fucking amazing crew who've pulled this whole thing together
Best in the business

And I think maybe, a pretty big thank you to the band Bastille
For letting me ruin their music for an evening on TV
You guys have absolutely destroyed it, thank you so much
Alright, uhm, so having just barn danced our way through "Happier" or something weird
This is a much more appropriate finish
