This is what it means. I was in the very same situation. This girl is looking for Happiness. Hince, I just want to be happy lyric. I found a wonderful man who was involved with another woman. He lead me to feel like we could be together. We had that spark, that attraction but he was already in love with another woman. He lived with her and had just taken back her ring he gave her because he didn't want to marry her. That is when we started seeing eachother. He never left her. He broke up with me a year and half later to marry her. All I wanted was to be happy and I dealt with the pain of knowing they were together but survived on the hope he would choose me in the end. Yeah, it hurt and I did break down but rightfully so. Knowing the man I loved had gotten married shortly after he broke up with me. Killed me. So as in her song. I stood by watching it happen it was my choice so don't call me a victim. Just like her. She knew what she was getting into. I'm 35 years old. I have been there!
