as i fell asleep listening to a song by Mika

I was listening to this song by Mika as i slumbered into the night, somehow the lyrics was stuck in my head even when i got up, partially cause the ipod was on repeat. I remembered trying to figure the words out and so i decided to do it early today...


-Happy Ending-

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love[repeat]

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

*after the song and around 2 minutes of silence another song played*

-Over My Shoulder-

Over my shoulder.
Running away.
Feels like I'm falling.
Losing my day.

Cold! And dry! Cold! And dry.

Forgot my daylight.
Torture my night.
Feels like I'm falling.
Far out of sight.

Cold! Drunk! Tired! Lost.

Over my shoulder.
Running away.
Feels like I'm falling.
Losing my way.

Cold! Dry! Cold! And dry.

Forgot my daylight.
Torture my night.
Feels like I'm falling.
Far out of sight.

Cold! Drunk! Cold! And drunk

Iam not too sure what both songs mean to the Artist or what the purpose or message the song was suppose to sent to the listeners but from my point of view, its a really sad song, followed by the dark times the person went through - a failed relationship with the person he so loved and gave so much of himself to... to no avail... and the aftermath that followed... the final part of the song is really painful to hear... and in the end he is lost in total darkness all alone, cold and drunk.

Forgot my daylight.
Torture my night.
Feels like I'm falling.
Far out of sight.

Cold! Drunk! Cold! And drunk
