Happy Ending

(Chorus) This is the way you left me I'm not pretending No hope, no love, no glory No happy ending (x4) (Verse 1) 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 (Chorus x2) (Verse 2) 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 (Chorus x2) (Verse 3) 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 (Chorus x2)
