[Verse 1]
We broke up a month ago
Your friends are mine, you know, I know
You've moved on, found someone new
One more girl who brings out the better in you
And I thought my heart was detatched
From all these sunlight of our past
The Verse But she's so sweet, she's so pretty
Does she mean you forgot about me?

[Verse 2]
And do you tell her she's the most beautiful girl you've ever
seen?
An eternal love bullshit you know you'll never mean
Remember when I believed
You meant it when you said it first to me?
And now I'm pickin' her apart
Like cuttin' her down will make you miss my wretched heart
But she's beautiful, she looks kind
She probably gives you butterflies'

[Chorus]
Oh, I hope you're happy
But not like how you were with me
I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go
So find someone great, but don't find no one better
I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

[Chorus]
The Chorus I hope you're happy
But not like how you were with me
I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go
So find someone great, but don't find no one better
I hope you're happy
I wish you all the best, really
Say you love her, baby
Just not like you loved me
And think of me fondly when your hands are on her
I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

[Chorus]
I hope you're happy
Just not like how you were with me
I'm selfish, I know, can't let you go
So find someone great, but don't find no one better
I hope you're happy but don't be happier

[Chorus]
I hope you're happy
The Coda But not like how you were with me
I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go
So find someone great, but don't find no one better
I hope you're happy
But Don’t be happier

Rodrigo sings, "We broke up a month ago / Your


friends are mine, you know, I know / You've moved on, 
found someone new," adding that the girl is one who "who
brings out the better in you." Needless to say, fans are
The Story wondering if this track is about her ex, Joshua Bassett, and
Behind The his subsequent relationship with Sabrina Carpenter — though
Lyrcis Rodrigo hasn't confirmed or denied that."Oh, I hope you're
happy," Rodrigo on the chorus. "But not like how you were
with me / I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go." She hopes
her ex finds "someone great," but no one that's "better" than
she is. "I hope you're happy, but don't be happier," Rodrigo
sings gently.In the second verse, Rodrigo wonders if her ex
used the same pick-up lines as he did with her. "And do you
tell her she's the most beautiful girl you've ever seen? / An
eternal love bulls*** you know you'll never mean," she
questions.Rodrigo then realizes picking the new girlfriend
apart doesn't do her any good, and wishes her ex "all the
best" in his relationship, but hopes that he won't forget the
"happier" times he had with her — proving that she has yet to
let go of her heartbreak.

In my opinion, this song has a tone and rhythm that is


pleasant to hear and very deep like a true story and after I
My Opinion made a Structure analysis of this song, I know more and
About a Song more that this song is the true story of the singer and the
maker who tells about his bad romance just fine. This
includes sad/upset songs and songs of such genres that are
suitable for today where most viral songs are about genre.
and this song has a complete and interesting structure, we
like the song
