I can't let go, but I can't hold on anymore

The picture is fading…life closes a door

I am knocking, but you don't answer like before

God, what is this message you're sending?

I'm just looking for the happy ending

You pulled me back when I was falling off the edge

Anchored my soul, gave me strength to live again

Now I'm reaching, but I can't save your life my friend

Oh so many tears I'm spending 

Just looking for the happy ending

One more life down to a whisper

Yeah, we were wild and crazy fools

Can't take the blame cuz the cards fell that way

Didn't we play by the rules?

Now an angel taps your shoulder in the night

You're smiling, smiling…no more pain to fight

You were never wrong…it's this world that wasn't right

As you close your eyes surrendering

I think I've found the happy ending

Just close the book, no more pretending

We both know there's no happy ending
