happier [beth and daan]

I'm horrible, I know, I can't let you go...

I've found someone great, but couldn't find anyone better... better than you.

And I don't think I ever will.

🎵 I hope you're happy, but don't be happier 🎵

I can be happy, but I could be happier.

🎵 And do you tell her she's the most beautiful girl you've ever seen? 🎵

I feel horrible for not telling her she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

That's something I'm supposed to do, but I can't bring myself to say the words, when I know they are not true.

There is only one person I can say these words to without feeling guilty... Without feeling like a traitor.

🎵 An eternal love bullshit you know you'll never mean
Remember when I believed
You meant it when you said it first to me? 🎵

Remember when I said I'll love you forever? Our pact of eternal love?

I can't break it, even if I try.

You will always own my heart and there is nothing in this world that can change that.

🎵 And now I'm pickin' her apart
Like cuttin' her down will make you miss my wretched heart 🎵

I keep comparing her to you...

I keep thinking what you would've done differently in her place.

I keep focusing on her flaws and how you didn't have them.

This makes me miss you even more.

🎵 But she's beautiful, she looks kind
She probably gives you butterflies 🎵

She's beautiful, she is kind, but she doesn't give me butterflies.

🎵 I hope you're happy
I wish you all the best, really 🎵

I hope you're happy.

I wish you all the best, really...

Not having me in your life is for the best, believe me.

🎵 Say you love her, baby
Just not like you loved me 🎵

I should go tell her that I love her.

But I'll never love anyone like I loved you... Like I still love you.

🎵 And think of me fondly when
your hands are on her 🎵

Having my hands on her only makes me think of you.

Her touch reminds me how much I crave yours.

Her kiss makes your taste wash away.

I get lost in my thoughts, instead of getting lost in her eyes.

I miss you.

🎵 I hope you're happy, but don't be happier 🎵

I am not happy.

I need you...

Daan grabbed her phone and typed in the number she had memorized all those years ago.

"Remember that night?" she texted.

Beth saw the notification right away, as if she was waiting for it.

She knew exactly what Daan had meant by "that night." She felt more lost and hurt than she was before.

They both threw their phones away with tears rolling down their eyes, joining the rain droplets on their wet shirts.
