[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh (So much for my happy ending)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh (So much for my happy ending)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hangin'
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread (Breakable thread)
[Pre-Chorus]
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus]
You were everything, everything
That I wanted (That I wanted)
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it (We lost it)
And all of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time, you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) So much for my happy ending
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say (I know what they say)
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they (But so are they)
But they don't know me
Do they even know you? (Even know you)
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do (All the shit that you do)
[Pre-Chorus]
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus]
You were everything, everything
That I wanted (That I wanted)
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it (We lost it)
And all of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time, you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
[Bridge]
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you care
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
[Chorus]
He was everything, everything
That I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
And all of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time, you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
[Chorus]
You were everything, everything
That I wanted (That I wanted)
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it (We lost it)
And all of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time, you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) So much for my happy ending
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) So much for my happy ending
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

The cool thing about “My Happy Ending” Butch and I were in the studio writing this song and I sang it and I came back in when it was, I sang like two songs in one day, and he called me in the next day and I listened to it and I was like that’s a single like that’s, that’s it and they called up my ma...
I shot this video in New York City, running through the streets in New York. New York was, like, where I first started my record. When I was 16, I moved out there and then I shot my album cover, like, standing in the streets of New York City. Just like, random. “My Happy Ending” is one of my favorit...
