Son, when you're older
You will meet someone that was made for ya
They'll adore ya
You say: Son, when you grow up, you will meet someone that shows you real love
What is real love?

It's a push and pull
And I'm going back and forth
And I've seen the way this goes
And it's not pretty
Screaming through the walls
Wondering what did I do wrong?
And you wanna be so strung
But you don't have to be

I want you to know
That you're not hurting me
If you choose to leave
I want you to know
I just want you to be
Happy like you used to be
Like you used to be
Like you, like you used to be
Like you used to be
Happy like you used to be
Like you used to be
Like you, like you used to be
Like you used to be
Happy like you used to be

Oh, remember
All the memories we made in December
When things were better
Will this pass?
Like the weather
Or maybe we're not meant to be together
Maybe it's not worth the pain
Cause

It's a push and pull
And I'm going back and forth
And I've seen the way this goes
And it's not pretty
Screaming through the walls
Wondering what did I do wrong?
And you wanna be so strung
But you don't have to be

I want you to know
That you're not hurting me
If you choose to leave
I want you to know
I just want you to be
Happy like you used to be
Like you used to be
Like you, like you used to be
Like you used to be
Happy like you used to be
Like you used to be
Like you, like you used to be
Like you used to be
Happy like you used to be

I just wanna know
Know that I can be
Happy like I used to be
