[Verse 1]
I didn't even ask for this
All I ever wanted was love
L - O - V - E
I treated you like a prince
Apparently that wasn’t enough
E - N - O - U - G - H

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Boy you really had me fooled and here's an Oscar for your lying
Tragedy is comedy if you can see the silver lining
The funny thing - it's hard to see the sun when you’ve been buried alive
And I'm just wondering

One, two, three, and

[Chorus]
Why is this happening
Thank god that it's happening
I can't believe it's happening
Happening to me
And who is gonna dance with me
And celebrate this misery
I can't believe it's happening
Happening to me
Second verse, same as the first

[Verse 2]
I didn't even ask for this
But I know I’m gonna be better off
O - F - F - U
Have a very un-merry Christmas
I hope you never get what you want
E - V - E - R

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You can say your prayers and I’ll be drinking wine in Barcelona
Learning every language that I know you'd never speak a word of
Qué hora son mi corazón, you’re not wasting my time
And I'll bet you're wondering

One, two, three, and

[Chorus]
Why is this happening
Thank god that it's happening
I can’t believe it's happening
Happening to me
And who is gonna dance with me
And celebrate this misery
I can't believe it's happening
Happening to me
[Bridge]
Heartbreak Mardi Gras
This is a party for the
Wounded, broken, super human
Star-crossed suckers
We'll go down together like we're
Gangster poets, dodging bullets
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah OH!
Ah ah ah ah
Two, three, and

[Chorus]
Why is this happening
Thank god that it's happening
I can't believe it's happening
Happening to me
And who is gonna dance with me
And celebrate this misery
I can't believe it's happening
Happening to me

Why is this happening (why is this happening)
Thank god that it's happening
I can't believe it's happening
Happening to me
And who is gonna dance with me
And celebrate this misery
I can't believe it's happening
Happening to me
