Alissa Jandt: harmony vocals

smiling guests, the perfect dress
you know we had the best intentions
and we’re no strangers to convention
they were the perfect plans
so we both said the words
yeah we took them to heart
forging the bonds that nobody dared part
and I gave into you
when you promised me this
was the best for us

and our friends all said
we were birds of a feather
can’t see no reason
we shouldn’t be togther
but I’ll do you one better

so are you happy for me
that that we’re right where we wanna be?
are you happy for me now?
were you gonna tell me somehow?

seven years, it disappears
it was a clear enough arrangement
and I’m no stranger to estrangement
we go a long way back
so the world fell apart
as we both pulled away
trust such an easy thing to betray
with only ourselves to deceive
hard to believe this is
what you wanted

and I still believed
we were meant for each other
hoping there’d be
something left to discover
one lost soul to another

so are you happy for me
that that we’re right where we wanna be?
are you happy for me now?
were you gonna tell me somehow?

look behind, we crossed a line
there was a time I’d see
right through you
but it’s enough
to say I knew you
we go a long way back

now I’m picturing you
as you planned your escape
packing your troubles
into stolen milk crates
and picking out songs
for a roadtrip mixtape
and wondering if you picked mine

and believe you me
we were birds of a feather
looking for reasons
not to stay together
but I know you’ll do better

so are you happy for me
that that we’re right where we wanna be?
are you happy for me now?
were you gonna tell me somehow?
are you happy for me
that that I’m right where you wanted me?
are you happy for me now?
were you gonna tell me somehow?
