Hey, I burn better in the dark
Hey, is that me crying?
Hey, oh, it's pure poison where you are
Hey, is that me dying?

Tell me a happy ending story
Is there a happy ending story?
Is there? Is there?
Tell me a happy ending story
Oh, tell me a story

Hey, for every ending tragedy
Hey, I'll rip your heart out
Hey, for every evil, dumb, lazy
Hey, tear the sun down

Tell me a happy ending story
Tell me a happy ending story
Is there? Is there?
Tell me a happy ending story
Oh, tell me a story

The graces lost, the graces won
The filth it is has overcome
The lonely ache for you just resurrects it, uh huh
The ghost of him haunts in the scream
That's coming from the depths of me
Watch him die his lonely little death, uh huh

Hey, the quicksand's coming, better run
Hey, is that me crying?
Hey, the stars crash down, don't let 'em in
Hey, is that me dying?

Tell me a happy ending story
Tell me a happy ending story
Is there, is there?
Tell me a happy ending story
Oh, tell me a story

Watch him wilt and watch him bloom
Imprisoned in the depths of you
A loneliness that defines all belief, uh huh
The rage that's lost, the war that's won
The battle that has just begun
He haunts me to the marrow of my grief, uh huh
