we believe in happy endings

who can tell just how it starts

angry words and broken hearts

till silently we sit apart

you and i

but in awhile the anger's gone

and we forget who's right or wrong

then one of us will end it all

with just a smile

we believe in happy endings

never breaking only bending

taking time enough for mending

the hurt inside

we believe in new beginnings

giving in and forgiving

we believe in happy endings

you and i

just a word is all it takes

and so it pass

the silence breaks

and looking back it makes us ache

for what we've done

and so we cling together now

and wonder why we're oh so proud

when all that matters anyhow

is our love

we believe in happy endings

never breaking only bending

taking time enough for mending

the hurt inside

we believe in new beginnings

giving in and forgiving

we believe in happy endings

you and i
