You had the best
But you gave her up
'Cause dependency might interrupt
Idealistic will so hard to please
Put your indecisive mind at ease
You broke the set
Now there's, there's only singles
There's no looking back
And this time I mean it

Are you happy now?
Tell me how
You're happy now
(Are you happy?)

The uncertainty you had of me
Brought clouded shady company
The tenderness habitual
A seldom-fading ritual
You killed the pair
Now only one is breathing
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

Are you happy now?
Well tell me how
You're happy now
(Are you happy?)

Are you happy now?
How is it now?
Are you happy now?
(Are you happy?)

No more leaning on your shoulder
I won't be there, no more bother
If you feel you just might want me
That's too bad, I'm not that easy

The contemplator all those years
And you must adhere
To your new career of liberation
You've been cast all by yourself
You're free at last
You broke the set
Now there's, there's only singles
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

Are you happy now?
Tell me how
You're happy now
(Are you happy?)

Are you happy now?
How is it now?
Are you happy now?
(Are you happy?)

Oh you're by yourself,
All by yourself
You've got no one else,
You're by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself
No one else
No one else
By yourself
By yourself

    My Opinion:In the words of bassist Tony Kanal...."Fuck those are some seriously intense words" lol

    One of the most revengeful breakup songs EVER!

    General Comment:Great song. I agree, one of the best break up songs. I like how it is a little more empowering than the usual "sappy" break up stuff. Kind of a big f-you. Gotta love it!

    General Comment:This is one of the best break-up songs ever. It basically says that he screwed up and there's no second chance for him.
