the happiest endings are still so sad Lyrics

The happiest Endings are still so sad

And bittersweet chocolate is never

Sweet enough.

I remember your blue jeans would cling to your skin, floss

Pulling pieces of denim from between my

Teeth. Your pants now droop like the white orchids I forgot in the car and I feel cheated -

I would never have loved you if I knew how hard it would be to throw out your clothes.

Today you were pamphlets and pill bottles but

Tomorrow you will be

My worn-out book; the

Re-sewn bear I keep in the nightstand;

The ballpoint pen I squeeze

Every little bit of

Ink out of to write errands and birthday cards;

The bicycle,

With chipped paint and a damaged chain,

I still choose to ride through the neighbourhood.
