[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
Tell me a happy ending story
Is there a happy ending story?
Is there, is there?
Tell me your happy ending story
Oh, tell me a story

[Verse 2]
Hey, for every ending tragedy
Hey, I'll rip your heart out
Hey, for every evil dumb lazy
Hey, I'll tear the sun down

[Chorus]
Tell me your happy ending story
Tell me your happy ending story
Is there, is there?
Tell me your happy ending story
Oh, tell me the story
[Bridge]
The grace is lost, the grace is won
The filth it is has overcome
The lonely ain't for you, just resurrect, uh huh
The ghost of him haunting the screen
Coming from the depths of me
Watch him die his lonely little death, uh huh

[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus]
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 the story

[Outro]
Oh, watch you wilt and watch you bloom
Imprisoned in the depths of you
As long as the defects are believed, uh huh
The rage is lost, the war is won
The battle there has just begun
He haunts me to the marrow of my grief, uh huh
