The Happy Ending Lyrics

Well there's nothing for me here
I'm starting to get old
And time just ticks on

We've all been taking some
Comfort in repetition

And I'm left with no way to scratch
What has been itchin' - and I'm
I'm ready and waiting for the happy ending

Now the days go by me; pass right through us
Our night lives make us so useless
No don't take anything to heart
We don't care and we don't want to start

Well I'm leaving for a while I'll head in some direction
I just don't know which one I should be taking and

I'm ready and waiting for the happy ending
I'm begging and pleading for another beating
I'm ready and waiting for the happy ending

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
