Happy (In The End) Lyrics
I can feel you forgetting me
Might just disappear
High on codependency
You feel safe up here
[Verse 1]
But we're sober now in the cold light of day
You look different in the sun
My God, it'd be good to see your face
But am I the only one who wonders still about your days?
Did you find your sense of peace?
Lord, please
[Chorus 2]
I hope you've forgiven me
Couldn't see you drowning
Sacrificed your sanity
Stole my silver lining
[Verse 2]
But we're older now, what happened to the days?
We've been runnin' out of timе
Just like the leavеs back East, we'll change
But eventually, we'll find our way back home
But will we be alone?
There was a time your smile
Lit the city up for miles
But you lost it in the battle
That you fought for me, my angel
I could spend the rest of my life
Tryin' to give you back to the light
[Post-Bridge]
Even if that means I'm dead to you, you're dead to me
Well, rest in peace to us, a tragedy
I guess you left a casket full of dust
I'll scatter the ashes in the wasteland of my selfishness
[Chorus 3]
I can feel you forgetting me well do it
I'll still love you for getting me through this
I don't care, if you're here or if we never speak again
Just need to know, you're happy in the end
I'll be your ghost, or I'll be your best friend
Just need to know, you're happy in the end
Oh God, I hope you're happy in the end
About
“Happy (In The End)” is the twisted unofficial sequel to American singer-songwriter, Gabbie Hanna’s original Pop song, “Happy” from her second studio extended play, BAD KARMA, and stands as the leading single and ending track for Gabbie’s debut studio album, Trauma Queen.
As shown in “Happy”, Gabbie wrote a love song towards her former boyfriend Payton Saxon. Comparatively, “Happy” and “Happy (In The End)” are vastly different songs in terms of the way they sound and how they are produced. On “Happy,” Gabbie conveys cheery and happy vocals, but on “Happy (In The End),” she expresses her sense of longing to the listener. Her raspy and dry vocals indicate Gabbie’s suffering in the aftermath of her 2021 breakup.

The day I wrote this song, I thought I was starting with a new therapist. I had the wrong day scheduled, it was the next Monday, not this one. I make a lot of dumb mistakes
Knowing it might be challenging, I give myself the entire for this session. Now, without a session, I had nothing but an empty day
For a while, I was randomly setting up my camera and singing, talking… just seeing what came out. I was hoping my loneliness could inspire me. They mostly just made me sad to watch
On August 16th, after my canceled session, I set up my camera and started singing, This was the thing that came out
This one made me happy to watch. The next day, I found someone to cut me a demo. I spent two months perfecting it. I never spoke to a camera again, I had no more empty days
