[GLOBAL LAW]
Vocal melody = genuine happiness for her friend. Rhodes/piano harmony = private ache. Never reveal hidden resentment or resolve the ache because the vocal sounds warm. Both truths remain credible at once.

[INTRO — unresolved Rhodes; soft bass enters]

[V1 — close, affectionate]
You called me before you told the others
Couldn’t even finish the first line
I heard it breaking through your laughter
That little shake you get when something’s right

I said, “Tell me everything, don’t skip it”
You were talking twice your normal speed
I could see the room without being in it
The open window, your bare feet

And when you said,
“I think it’s finally happening”
I meant it when I laughed
I meant it when I said

[PRE-CHORUS 1 — harmony darkens; vocal stays warm]
You worked so long for this
You carried it so far
There is nothing false inside me
When I tell you where you are

[CHORUS 1 — glowing melody; unresolved Rhodes]
I’m happy for you
Look at you, you made it
After all the waiting
After all you had to lose

I’m happy for you
And I need you to believe me
There is nothing in those words
I’m trying to hide from you

I’m happy for you
I am
I am

[POST — brief unresolved piano figure]

[V2 — deeper live pocket]
We went out and ordered something reckless
You picked the place we always said we would
I raised my glass before you asked me
Said, “This is yours. And God, it’s good.”

You were glowing under yellow streetlights
Everybody wanted you to speak
I knew every mile that got you to it
Every night you thought you were too weak

And I watched you tell the story
Like the ending finally fit
And nothing in me wanted
To take one inch of it

[PRE-CHORUS 2 — aching high guitar suspension]
I love that this is yours
I love the way you shine
And somewhere underneath the table
My hands were holding mine

[CHORUS 2 — fuller band; harmony more unsettled]
I’m happy for you
Look at you, you made it
After all the waiting
After all you had to prove

I’m happy for you
And I swear I’m not pretending
Your good news does not become less good
Because it hurts me too

I’m happy for you
I am
I am

[INSTRUMENTAL — warm chorus motif on guitar; unresolved Rhodes/piano; grounded bass]

[V3 — close again]
I got home and left my coat on
Sat down halfway to the bed
Your voice was still inside the evening
Every beautiful thing you said

And then I cried into the quiet
Not because I wished you less
Not because your joy offended me
Not because I loved you best

I cried because I wanted something
That looked a little like your day
And seeing someone else receive it
Made the distance show its shape

I hated how ashamed I felt
As if love should make me blind
As if wanting what you have
Means I would take away what’s mine

[PRE-CHORUS 3 — sparse bass + Rhodes]
But envy isn’t always hatred
And sorrow isn’t spite
Sometimes somebody else’s sunrise
Shows you where you miss the light

[CHORUS 3 — broadest vocal; harmony stays unsettled]
I’m happy for you
Look at you, you made it
After all the waiting
After everything you knew

I’m happy for you
And tonight I’m also grieving
One truth does not disappear
Because another one is true

I’m happy for you
And I hurt for me
I can say both sentences
Without making either cheap

I’m happy for you
I am
I am

[BRIDGE — warm voice; suspended piano]
Tomorrow I will call you
And ask how morning feels
I’ll want every photograph
Every ordinary detail

And when you say,
“I still can’t believe it”
I’ll laugh because I know
Exactly what you mean

Then after we hang up
Maybe I will cry again

That doesn’t make the laughter false
That doesn’t make me less your friend

[FINAL CHORUS — full organic band; warmth above, ache below]
I’m happy for you
No footnote, no correction
No secret little poison
Hidden underneath the truth

I’m happy for you
And I wish I had it too
I will not turn my longing
Into something cruel to you

I’m happy for you
And I’m tender with the part of me
That wanted one bright morning
To arrive the way yours did

I’m happy for you
I am
I am

And tonight
I’ll let my own heart hurt

[OUTRO — voice + Rhodes; natural ending]
Call me tomorrow
Tell me it again

I want to hear it
I mean that

I’m happy for you

[Rhodes holds unresolved extension; bass supplies warmth]

[VOICE DNA] Dark honeyed female alto: intimate chest-led lows, close mic, soft grain, calm authority. Verses conversational and precise, sometimes almost smiling. Pre-choruses gain breath; choruses open into luminous warm mezzo with restrained natural vibrato. Never sarcastic, bitter, accusing or theatrical. She means every generous line; the hurt lives mainly in harmony and brief private drops between phrases. The warmth is not a mask: keep her phrasing open and affectionate even when the harmony tightens. Final chorus may widen the room slightly, but retain close human detail and no choir. No sobbing or melodramatic belts. [GLOBAL LAW] Vocal melody = genuine happiness for her friend. Rhodes/piano harmony = private ache. Never reveal hidden resentment or resolve the ache because the vocal sounds warm. Both truths remain credible at once.
