MIKE - Happy Ending lyrics

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory no happy ending

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory no happy ending
This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory no happy ending

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory no happy ending

See Katie was 18 when everything changed
Freshman in college, scholarship paid
Boyfriend from high school was
Everything she needed
Loved Katie to death, when he said it
He would mean it
Soon enough, Katie started acting different
When he called to talk
She would hardly even listen
So the next weekend, he hopped on a flight
Thought a visit face to face
Would make everything right
Got to her place butterflies in his stomach
A necklace in his hand
He knew that she would love it
As he walked up, heard a noise from afar
Turned around and saw that it
Came from Katie's car
It was kinda dark but he swore
He saw the car shake
Took a few more steps felt his heart break
It was Katie, she was in the backseat
Having sex with the star player
On the LAX team this is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory no happy ending

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory no happy ending

Meet Josh, hard working dude
Had a kid at 18 dropped out of school
5 years later, he grinds through the work day
Man everyday, even on his birthday
Damn, wife and son both love him to death
But
He was having trouble dealing with the stress
So, he would pop pills, and do it often
Life seemed like one big maze
That he was lost in
The addiction got worse everyday
And she was worried sick she tried
To help in any way
She would beg, and she would plead
Even started threatening that she
Was gunna' leave
Josh got fired, only got worse
He thought he couldn't give
What his family deserved
So one night, when they opened the door
They saw a note
And found Josh dead on the floor
This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory no happy ending

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory no happy ending

Danny hated the school system
Teachers wanted nothing to do with him
He couldn't give a shit about his GPA
Everyday when the bell rang he
Would lead the way
Good kid, showed love and affection
Wanted to succeed but needed a direction
Him and his best friend
Chose to leave school
And thought enlisting in the
Army would be cool
Get a fresh start, fight for the nation
Mom disagreed and cried when he was stationed
She held his picture when she went to bed
Couldn't hear his voice
So she wrote him letters instead
Danny wrote back
And it would get her through the day
Either way
She was counting down to the 1st of May
May 1st came, heard a knock on the door
Opened up, and then she dropped to the floor

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory no happy ending

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory no happy ending
