When the stars are aligned I'ma call you up
We look good when together
You're the moon I'm the river, oh-oh
Never thought that I'll find somebody to love
And it hurts just a little, to know love is a
killer
Always in a rush, changing both of us
Trying to keep the promises made, tryna
believe the words that you said
If you care for me, please tread carefully
Tell me that you love
Prove me I was wrong
Say you love me but it won't stop the
hurting, happiness before love
I choose happiness before love
I'm moving on, I'm gonna, gonna let you go
I choose happiness before love, happiness
before love
There were times when your word just enough
It's like constant collision
And my heart in the middle (ah-ah)
And you blur out my mind, I can't make it out
But I know I'm certain (oh-whoa)
About joy before hurting
Always in a rush, changing both of us
Trying to keep the promises made, tryna
believe the words that you said
If you care for me, please tread carefully
Tell me that you love
Prove me I was wrong
Say you love me but it won't stop the
hurting, happiness before love
I choose happiness before love
I'm moving on, I'm gonna, gonna let you go
I choose happiness before love, happiness
before love
Happiness
I choose happiness
Happiness before love
I choose happiness before love (sing it)
Happiness (before love)
I choose happiness (before love)
Happiness before love
I choose happiness before love
If you care for me, please tread carefully
Tell me that you love
Prove me I was wrong
Say you love me but it won't stop the hurting,
happiness before love
I choose happiness before love
I'm moving on, I'm gonna, gonna let you go
I choose happiness before love, happiness
before love
Happiness
I choose happiness
Happiness before love
I choose happiness before love
Happiness
I choose happiness
Happiness before love
I choose happiness before love.
