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

Love 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

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

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
