Happy Ending / Over My Shoulder

This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory, no happy ending
This is the way that we love, like its forever
Then live the rest of our life but not together

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wastin’
And I'm wastin’ everyday

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin’ around
If I pretend that nothin’ ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on

A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love…

Over My Shoulder (Hidden Track)

Over my shoulder, running away
Feels like I'm falling, losing my day
Cold, dry, cold and dry

Fog out my daylight, torture my night
Feels like I'm falling, far out of sight
Cold, drunk, tired, lost (Cold and drunk)
