Lumineers, The - It Wasn't Easy To Be Happy For You Lyrics






On the last time we met, your love was there
You held my hand, bit your tongue
Shut me out, spilled my blood all around

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

All alone you always felt
We dragged you down, gave me hell
Made your bed, now you sleep
On your own, yes, well, see...

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

I know that you tried
But you're no friend of mine
Falling apart
You played it the best
A dame in distress

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I wrapped my neck and prayed that you'd feel the noose
I saw the restaurant table for two
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

Yeah, yeah
Yeah

    Na última vez que nos encontramos
    Seu amor estava morto
    Você segurou minha mão
    Mordeu sua língua
    Acabou comigo
    E derramou meu sangue
    Por todo lado

    É, não foi fácil ser feliz por você
    É, eu bebi o veneno, rezando que você também o sentisse
    Você segurou seus socos e eu saí do quarto
    É, não foi fácil ser feliz por você

    Sozinho
    Seu machado caiu
    Nós te arrastamos
    Você me deu o inferno
    Arrumou sua cama
    Agora você dorme
    Completamente só
    Acho que vamos ver

    É, não foi fácil ser feliz por você
    É, eu bebi o veneno, rezando que você também o sentisse
    Você segurou seus socos e eu saí do quarto
    É, não foi fácil ser feliz por você

    Eu sei que você tentou
    Mas você não é minha amiga
    Caindo aos pedaços
    Você jogou melhor
    Uma dama em perigo, ooh

    Sim, não foi fácil ser feliz por você
    Sim, amarrei meu pescoço e rezei para que você sentisse o laço
    Eu vi a mesa do restaurante para dois

    É, não foi fácil ser feliz por você
    É, não foi fácil ser feliz por você
    É, eu bebi o veneno, rezando que você também o sentisse
    Você segurou seus socos e eu saí do quarto
    É, não foi fácil ser feliz por você

    Sim
    Sim

  35. V.... W....

    Favorite song on the album

  36. m.... d....

    And justin bieber and nicky Minaj is more FAMOUS

  37. L.... H....

    I relate to these lyrics.
    2017: "I took the poison hoping you feel it too" Brokedown with PTSD and depression. Cut my wrist hoping mother would see how much I was hurting inside.

    2018: "I would lie awake hoping you don't lie awake for me" Struggled to rebuild my resources. Most aspects of my life shattered from years of mental illness, I felt so bad and fragile about having nothing. Relationships, work, money, security... It pained me thinking my mother must have shunned me, the way I shunned myself.

    2019: "It wasn't easy to be happy for you". I'm more stable than I used to be. Living a more independent life. Half of the time, I'm aware of my co-dependent ways, and how my actions of self-destruction are manipulative. How it would bring me down, stuck in this love-hate relationship game with mother. "If you don't have it then you'll never give it". My mother is a dry well, I would not fill it bawling my eyes out.
    So yeah, I stop expecting the motherly love that I hoped for. And I find myself happy for her sometimes. Her actions hurt me in the past, they hurt less now. I hated her, I hate her less now.

    I hope one day I'll have enough love for myself. And be truly calm, and happy for her. For I know I love her.

    The weird thing is that the girl (junior is hallucinating?) reminds me of Gloria alot.
    I Honestly thought this was a prequel of how her and her husband were when they were young until I saw more videos.
    She even takes her top off the way Gloria did towards the field.
    Another weird thing is that Gloria hates the name Junior and that's her grandson's name but she never lived long enough to know that.
    The weirdest thing of all is how similar Junior is to his grandma Gloria (minus the alcohol) you especially see this in part 10.
    It's like generic memories or maybe just other connections we haven't noticed yet.🤯

  40. N.... M....

    Bro is that euron greyjoy

  41. R.... M....

    She's looks like Charlize Theron )))

  42. A.... I....

    A virgin face dude with a beautiful girl. A 'toofargone' and damage beyond repair self-esteem hoping for a beautiful human being to rescue him from that reality... but... you can only dream about it for a while... reality is very diferent... a face this shit daily everytime a see the mirror...

  43. w.... f....

    Amo esta canción y amo Lumineers .

  44. m.... i....

    69: I know where she went.

  45. C.... ....

    1. all i think about is ho hey
    2. the girl's eyes are charming
    3. smoking in car with closed windoes is suffocating
    4. i like the fog and somewhat rainy weather

  46. L.... B....

    چرا اینقدددد از لومینیرز برا من نوتیف میادد هیچ سابسکرایپمم نیست 🤦🏻‍♀️ گوگل که هر بار ریست میکنم البوماشو واسم پیشنهاد میکنه منم اهنگاتونو خیلی دوس دارم ولی خدایی چه پیوند ناگسستنی ایه 🤦🏻‍♀️

  47. C.... i....

  48. r.... 2....

  49. w.... y....

  50. T.... ....

    Made me feel sad sick

  51. C.... M....

    S.... ....

  64. M.... R....

    THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

  65. c.... ....

    I feel like the girl in the video represents Mary Jane or some type of temptation.

  66. J.... M....

    Idk why you guys are trying to figure a story out of these videos... Like what is the point? Just enjoy... Shit

  67. D.... S....

    This was a jarring and fascinating segue from the first three videos about Gloria.

  74. A.... E....

    I am so so happy that the Lumineers have started highlighting how addiction has such a devastating effect on both families and communities, I myself was caught in the grip of this pernicious deadly disease, caused a whole lot of hurt and pain and worry to my family and loved ones, stole a whole load of their peace of mind and contentment. for 30 years a long long time, never ever thought there was a way out lived a life of hopelessness emotionally null and void. drugs were the solution to all of my problems, finally through emotional pain i sought another way and found freedom from active addiction. 851 days clean today. THANKFULLY WE DO RECOVER. cant wait to see the Lumineers play on the 22nd November in Glasgow. (so much more than a concert to me its a celebration of my clean time) their music got me through a lot of rough nights and helped me cope with a lot of guilt and shame i was facing made it a bit easier and for that I'm truly a grateful recovering addict. thank you from the bottom of my heart Wesley Jeremiah and Neylah.

  75. J.... g....

    1:27 what did she put on his scar?

  76. k.... m....

    Always with that unique vibe, love the lumineers!

  77. A.... g....

    Post break up, YouTube recommends this. God-damint why is it so hard to get over her.

  78. A.... B....

    The dude looks like a crack head

  79. A.... S....

    After listening to the story of jimmy this song looks like it has something to do with bonnie, in the way that it wasn’t easy to be happy for junior after all the problems that his dad made bonnie through, and i guess that Junior’s first heart break was the abandonment of his mother

  80. J.... S....

    Na última vez que nos encontramos

    Okay but the girls in this video takes off her shirt just like Gloria took her shirt off earlier in the videos. I thought it was too coincidental for all of this to happen, especially due to the fact that they both took their shirt off in a field. Put the images side to side and see

    �.... ....

    Also - she took his cigarette just like the “stranger” did with Gloria’s one night stand

  82. H.... ....

    I think it's so interesting the way Junior's girlfriend is paralleled with his grandmother. That scene where she takes her top off as she's walking away? No fucking way that wasn't intended to call back to a similar scene with Gloria. The implication I'm getting is that this girl is an addict, too, or at least facilitates addiction in Junior. I mean, it ain't for nothing that she teaches him to smoke, and that their whole relationship seems based around that.

  83. P.... S....

    Putain quelle magnifique chanson...

  84. S.... ....

    Not my favorite on the new album, but the tunes get stuck in my head the most.

  85. P.... M....

    Heard this on Spotify just now.

  86. R.... A....

    she gon get a tick walking into fields like that

  87. P.... M....

    Wow, I kept seeing a resemblance to a young Charlize Theron!

  88. R.... ....

    Isn't that the guy who plays Wyatt in Ozark?

    R.... ....

    Yeah he's called Charlie Tahan

  89. C.... J....

    Is that Taylor Momsen?

  90. W.... B....

    This is so accurate

  91. W.... U....

    Seems like itd be a clip from jesus' son

  92. L.... L....

    She looks like Charlize Theron :O
