Lyrics for Happy Endings as interpreted by emojp

Happy Endings Lyrics
Time does tell
That even if they say so
She'd be the one that would know
That I did do what I've done
And I wouldn't call it cheating
I'd just say I was leading her on
Why walk while I run away?

You, you ask me what went wrong
Me, I'll write you this last song
Please just tell me one way we can win
One more thing before I go
To the one who loves me so
Three, don't make me count to three again

Happy endings
Just what did you do
If you're a dream to come true?
Stop pretending
That what you mean isn't what you say
Hopeful dreaming
Of times before the pain
Wishing it was still the same
Loving, leaving
Round and round and round we go again

Walks alone have often lead to thinking
My love for you is sinking
To what seems an all-time low or high
The limit's neverending
And don't you know I'm sending
There's no venture I won't go for you

You, you ask me what went wrong
Me, I'll write you this last song
Please just tell me one way we can win
One more thing before I go
To the one who loves me so
Three, don't make me count to three again

Happy endings
Just what did you do
If you're a dream to come true?
Stop pretending
That what you mean isn't what you say
Hopeful dreaming
Of times before the pain
Wishing it was still the same
Loving, leaving
Round and round and round we go again

She walks away, she talks away
She walks away
She walks away, she talks away
Away, away, hey, hey

Happy endings
Just what did you do
If you're a dream to come true?
Stop pretending
That what you mean isn't what you say
Hopeful dreaming
Of times before the pain
Wishing it was still the same
Loving, leaving
Round and round and round we go again

Happy endings
Just what did you do
If you're a dream to come true?
Stop pretending
That what you mean isn't what you say
Hopeful dreaming
Of times before the pain
Wishing it was still the same
Loving, leaving

these are the lyrics:Time does tell
That even if they say so
She'd be the one that would know
That I did do what I've done
And I, I wouldn't call it cheating
I'd just say I was leading her on
Why walk while I run a-way
You- you ask me what went wrong
Me- i'll write you this last song
Please- just tell me one way we can win
One- more thing before I go
Two- the one who loves me so
Three- don't make me count to three again

Happy endings
Just what did you do, If you're a dream then come true
Stop pretending
That what you mean isn't what you say
Hopeful dreaming,
Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same
Loving, leaving
Round and round and round we go again


Walks a-lone, have often lead to thinking
My love for you is sinking to what seems an all time low
or high, the limits' never ending,
And don't you know I'm sending
There's no venture I won't go
For you

You- you ask me what went wrong
Me- i'll write you this last song
Please- just tell me one way we can win
One- more thing before I go
Two- the one who loves me so
Three- don't make me count to three again

Happy endings
Just what did you do, If you're a dream then come true
Stop pretending
That what you mean isn't what you say
Hopeful dreaming,
Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same
Loving, leaving
Round and round and round we go again

She walks away, she talks away
She walks away
She walks away, she talks away
Away, away...

and etc etc etc ... someone had to correct those lyrics -- someone needs to get their ears checked or somethin...

I would have to agree with everyone who said it's awesome live because it truly is. I never liked this song until I saw the guys do it live, it blew me away.

haha, this is totally random, but everytime I hear the "happy endings", "stop pretending", and "hopeful dreaming" parts, I think of, "Fly into the danger zone" from Top Gun.. hahaha, just thought I would share. =]

Personal story: an ex-girlfriend of mine wrote to me one day and said "you will love this song. It's about what happened to us". I didnt want to like ANY song she gave me, but it turns out I F-ing loved this one. and everything else by the Rejects. great stuff.

You- you ask me what went wrong

Just what did you do, If you're a dream then come true
Stop pretending
That what you mean isn't what you say
Hopeful dreaming,
Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same
Loving, leaving
Round and round and round we go again

its so good, i agree the part "If you're a dream then come true" is such a good part, the beat is just so all over the place that it makes it so interesting.

Along with "Dance Inside," this is my favourite of The All-American Rejects' songs. The music is amazing and pumping and just wooo... incredible. I love it! The lyrics seem to me as if he cheated on a girl and they broke up, but the music is so happy that it takes all the sorrow away. I LOVE it!

P.S.: Does anyone else think that when "Happy endings..." is sung (just that lyric) it sounds like "Fly into..." from the song "Danger Song" from the movie Top Gun? It sounds identical... Except this song is infinitely better, of course.

The "You asked me what went wrong, I'll write you this last song" (this continues until the "don't make me count to three again") part reminds me of a children's song. I'm not sure which one, though.

The first song I have ever heard of The All-American Rejects! My favourite part is "three don't make me count to three again".
