Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory
No happy ending
[Verse 2]
This is the way that we love
Like it's forever
Then live the rest of our life
But not together
[Verse 3]
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
Mm, a little bit of heaven
But a little bit of hell
[Verse 4]
This is the hardest story
That I have 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
[Verse 5]
This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory
No happy ending
[Verse 6]
This is the way that we love
Like it's forever
Then live the rest of our life
But not together
[Verse 7]
Two 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
[Verse 8]
This is the hardest story
That I have 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
[Verse 9]
(Oh, I) This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending
(Feel as if I'm wasted) No hope, no love, no glory
No happy ending
[Verse 10]
(And I) This is the way that we love
Like it's forever (Wastin' every day)
Then live the rest of our life
But not together
[Verse 11]
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love (Little bit of love)
Little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love (Little bit of love)
Little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love (Little bit of love)
Little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love (Love)
[Verse 12]
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 13]
This is the way you left me
I'm not pretendin'
No hope, no love, no glory
No happy endin'
[Verse 14]
This is the way that we love
Like it's forever
Then live the rest of our life
But not together
This is the way you left me
I'm not pretendin'
No hope, no love, no glory
No happy ending
[Verse 15]
This is the way that we love
Like it's forever
Then live the rest of our life
But not together
[Verse 16]
This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory
No happy ending
