This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
See Katie was 18 when everything changed
Freshman in college, scholarship paid.
Boyfriend form high school was everything she needed
Loved Katie to death, when he said it, he would mean it.
Soon enough Katie started acting different,
When he called to talk she would hardly even listen.
So the next weekend he hopped on a flight
Thought a visit face to face would make everything right.
Got to a place butterflies in his stomach, necklace in his hand he knew that she would love it.
As he walked up, heard a noise from a far,
Turned around and saw that it came from Katies car
It was kinda dark, but he swore he saw the car shake.
Took a few more steps, felt his heart break, it was Katie
She was in the back seat having sex with the star player on the lax team
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
Meet Josh,
Hard working dude, had a kid at 18, dropped out of school.
5 years later he grinds through the work day
Man everyday, even on his birthday (damn)
Wife and son both love him to death.
But, he was having trouble dealing with the stress
So, he would pop pills, and do it often.
Life seemed like one big maze that he was lost in.
And the addiction got worse everyday
And she was worried sick, tried to help in anyway
She would beg, and she would plead, even started threatening that she was gonna leave.
Josh got fired. Only got worse, he thought he couldnt give what his family deserved.
So one night, when they opened the door
They saw a note and found josh dead on the floor.
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
Danny hated the school system
Teachers wanted nothing to do with him
He couldnt give a shit about his GPA,
Everyday when the bell rang he would lead the way
Good kid, showed love and affection
Wanted to succeed but needed a direction
Him and his best friend choose to leave school and thought enlisting in the army would be cool.
Get a fresh start, fight for the nation.
Mom disagreed and cried when he was stationed.
She held his picture when she went to bed, couldnt hear his voice so she wrote him letters instead.
Then he wrote back and it would get her through the days, either way she was counting down till the 1st of May.
May 1st came, heard a knock on the door, opened up, and then she dropped to the floor.
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
