Lewis Capaldi – Wish You The Best (Official Video)

A heartbreakingly sad piano ballad sung by Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi.

You said, “I wish you happiness,” and broke up, even though you didn’t mean it—when deep down you wanted to stay by their side.

Haven’t you ever felt that kind of pain? This song delivers those unspoken truths and regrets with a voice that sounds like a cry from the soul.

The lyrics confess, “I said we should stay friends, but that was a lie,” and for anyone who’s been through a painful breakup, it may feel like the song speaks your feelings for you.

If you let yourself sink into the emotions you’ve kept buried deep in your heart and have a good cry, you might feel a little lighter.

Also included on the album Let’s Talk About Love, it achieved the remarkable feat of winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song and four Grammy Awards.

Its message—singing of the enduring power of love that lives on in the heart even amid the profound sorrow of losing a loved one—resonates with everyone who holds dear someone special.
