happy without me

Toni Braxton

Heard y'all been trying on wedding gowns
I heard y'all bought a house
I almost had you walking down the aisle
But, almost doesn't count

Nothing's bruised but my ego
Nothing's hurt but my pride

And though it hurts
Baby, I'm happy for you
Happy for you
Even if it means
I gotta let you be happy
Happy without me
Happy without me

Remember how we used to lay around
Talked about what we'd name our child
I heard you're ready for a family now
I'm not the one you've settled down with

Nothing's bruised but my ego
Nothing's hurt but my pride

And though it really hurts
Baby, I'm happy for you
Happy for you
Even if it means
I gotta let you be happy
Happy without me

I guess I should've counted up the cost
But I paid to the boss
And I was wrong
I should've let you be the man
Be your lady, hold your hand
Always be there, through it all

I stalk to see just what you're up to now
I hope that I'll see you around

Though it really hurts
Baby, I'm happy for you
Happy for you
Even if it means
I gotta let you be happy
Happy without me
Even though it hurts
Know that I'm happy for you
Happy for you, even if it means
I gotta let you be
Happy, happy without me
Happy without me
Happy without me
