Snow Patrol - You Could Be Happy (Lyrics)

[@SIG34]

I remember listening to this song on a loop crying after my boyfriend and I broke up (he took a job out in California and I lived in NY). 4 years later we saw each other again and now we are married with a baby girl on the way. I still can't listen to this song without hysterically crying, it's so meaningful to me.

[@mariams9811]

This gives me hope. Happy for you!

[@roseannmurray4890]

This song is about unconditional love. Loving someone and wanting the best for them, all the while it breaks you up not to be with them. You're left wondering how they are managing in life.

[@kimharris3491Luciddreamer]

Yes true, loving them so much that you're prepared to let them go if it means they'll be happy, even though it's the most painful thing ever for you

[@theoyansen8267]

Pain

[@oOBlindyOo]

This is one of those songs that everyone loves at first. And then they get that break up and can never listen to it again. A real shame too I used to love hearing this one.

[@Kabiriii]

How about breakup first and then love it? ;D

[@rowyrowy26]

Aman Kabir how about to love it at first and then break up and keep loving it?

[@ms8studios157]

oOBlindyOo i have had this exact situation. except the breakup was for a reason i wish it wasnt for. she cut and i wanted her to stop i tried for months to talk her into help eventually i said me or it and she chose it... so sad but i still like this song

[@nateanderson4080]

I never cared for the song. Until I met and lost a girl that the song perfectly describes my feelings for.

[@rainbowsparkwarrior5]

Ah, for me it helps me cope. Er- more just drown in my sorrows. And cry... lots of crying.

[@Jordan-gx8ce]

When my daughter was about 3 years old I had this on in the car, the opening line "you could be happy, but I wont know", a little voice pipes up "I'm happy, now you know". This song will always make me smile.

[@rolomendoza5333]

This song is about how bad you feel after ending up a relationship with the person who deserved all your loving and you never appreciated it.

[@AncientCityMusic]

It’s been about 12 years since this song meant something to me, since I listened to it last. Hearing it again brings it all back. Makes me realize how long it’s been. I hope wherever you are, you’re happy. I’ll never forget the time we shared.

[@ivanandlove]

4 day countdown and this song has been on loop for the last 24 hrs. For all hurting, angry, or sad, no matter what happened it doesnt mean they didnt/never loved you. Remember the good times and learn from the bad. You are worth it and deserve happiness; you will find it.

[@rimmka29]

Gosh. So many broken hearted people

[@Gizziiusa]

lmao. well, the song revolves around youth and innocence. cant you hear the crib-mobile music in the background ?

You can't change the past, you can only hope the future is better. I often get caught up in the memories of my past experiences of love wishing there was something I could have done to prevent them from ending. I've been used so much but I don't hold grudges rather than feeling very sad looking back and its hard not to look back when you are so alone.

I've watched the love of my life walk away due to my post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Nothing is more devastating than losing the person you love due to factors outside of your control. I try so hard to fight my illness in an attempt to mend our relationship, but I have watched our loving bond slowly tearing at the seams as the days pass. I hope one day my partner can be happy.

[@LilShorty90]

I hope you are happy too one day. I don't know you, but as a PTSD sufferer myself, I know the struggles it brings. You are not a bad person, you deserve happiness too and I hope you find it. You've got this!

[@Nicooliest]

No chorus, no special solo. A simple song. Straight. Reliable. What needs to be said was said. And everything is so accurate but simple. And that's why this song is so special (:

[@deeclark386]

Incredibly beautiful yet powerful lyrics. I'm 'older' and can tell all you who are hurting... You will be able to listen to this song again. Time always helps even if it doesnt completely heal. Just words I know, but truly, look around you. Look at the friends you have who are there for you and who care about you. Look at these posts, total strangers who empathise and wish you well. Be strong.

[@kathrynrivenbark7219]

Such a sweet message, with real truths. I hope your inspiration reaches the people hurting to give them hope for their futures. ❣️❣️❣️

I’m here again. My son Sam is highly kinesthetic. I’m highly visual. He and his girl split up. I tried to be matter of fact. Unemotive. Practical.

[@Hilts931]

Me and the most amazing girl I've ever known broke up 5 years ago and I remember her listening to this song, when we broke up, like it was yesterday. We've both had our own lives since but there hasn't been a day she hasn't been on my mind. It hurts my heart as much right now as it did back then. To me she'll always be perfect and I'll always love her to my last days on Earth. How very much I wish things were different.

[@JasminesStudio101]

How are you doing now, moved on?

[@mougwarren150]

I know how you feel...think you will always love her. I met the love of my life back in 2003 then we broke up because he was Jewish and I wasn't. That heartache, literally, nearly killed me. I moved country to get over him. All these years later I still miss him and cry when I hear this song. Some wounds never heal and some people are irreplaceable :'(

[@jom4158]

i had a long time without listening to this song, and damn dude, as soon as the first chord sounded i got a lot of flashbacks in my mind that wont be ever able to disappear, they're stuck in the back of my head forever

[@tk-756brony6]

exact same reason I'm here again...

[@Sophie-zm6mw]

Seeing this in my recommendations makes me feel some type of way as I haven’t heard this song in years. Last time I heard this, I put it on my iPod on repeat whilst I lay in bed in tears. I was only 14 and just laid there pouring my heart out as my step father left with my step brother&sister. Miss them so much and I haven’t spoken to them in many years. Hope they’re well.

[@Sadbigbirddd]

Almost 8 years since we were last together. I still have you imprinted in my brain and it still hurts like hell ...

I never experienced what it means to fall in love, but these experiences on the computer are so warming. I hope everyone meets their special one, and never stop fighting for the one that you love.

I sincerely hope you're happy, taking in as much of the world as you possibly can... I hope you strive and live for the life you always wanted ❤ 5 years may have come and gone but you're still in my thoughts and prayer.. miss you, Michael P.

This song reminds me of other people being hurt. This makes me want to be a better person. I don't want to be one of those people who hurt others.This song was written because someone made a mistake.

[@c.anders430]

I always thought he was saying, "More than anything, I want to see you grow", which made it even more poignant for me because it made it seem as if both people were having a difficult time not thinking of the other and how that impacted their lives. That he still wished the best for her even though she (very probably) broke his heart somehow gave me hope in the midst of sadness, a light.

[@Mid_Youth_Crisis]

This is the first song I have ever heard after a break up. It has been almost 13 years from it. This song has been with me every time I’ve gotten my heart broken. It will always sting what my ex’s May be going through but regardless of it, I wish them the best. I can’t blame them for what they’ve done to me. I just hope they are happy and better.

[@Memphase]

I don't care if this is a love song. I want it played at my funeral.

[@xXKunokuXx]

It is another year that you are able to express your emotions instead of hiding them and keeping them locked inside. You should be proud of that regardless of gender. Some people can't express their emotions because of keeping them shut so long and it changes them, usually for the worst. In time however who knows maybe you could be happy :)

[@RoughWeightloss]

Its crazy how emotional this song can make you .. thinking of the one you love but unfortunately have lost :( and have relative it seems in all the situations of the former relationship... Its true though .. i do wish she is happy

[@emsanimation8145]

I capsule skip to any part of this song and cry my eyes out All I can think of is my one past best friend, we were so, so close. He had to move, and I was young (like 4th grade young) and I got mad at him. I had known him since I was in pre-school. The days before he left we either didn't talk, or were arguing. That was the last time I saw him, heard his voice. I'm over it now, but this song reminds me...

[@TheOutsiderStudios]

Ever since I lost my Tiffany, I can't love another woman the same. I've grown colder and more withdrawn, toward people. I know its been almost a year and shes gotten over it, I keep telling myself the something, but yet I keep getting these feeling resurfacing out of no where.

[@pascalhorisberger2143]

1 month down, and even though I'm not a miserable mess anymore, I still miss you more than I thought I could ever miss anyone. I know you'll be happy and I wish only the best for you with someone who can give you what I never could. I will never forget what we had and I'll never forget you. I just wish things could be different. I hope you realize how massive an impact you've had on my life and how you've changed my life forever. As futile as it is, I can't and won't give up hope that I can one day have you back in my life again, be it in days, months or years. "You made me happier than I'd been by far" I love you my angel. Goodbye.

This is the absolute best breakup song in the entire world. Two years ago would describe how I felt about leaving the guy I was with. He was my very first true love, but I knew that we were better off apart. Even if I was letting go my best friend and I missed him long there after. I know that we could have fixed so many things, and we might be happy together today, & we had been happy for a very long time together. Now we're happy apart, & we can live without each of us holding the other back.
