We Believe In Happy Endings

Who can tell just how it starts Angry words and broken hearts
Til silently we sit apart You and I
But in a while 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 passes the silence breaks
And looking back it makes us ache For what we've done
And so we cling to-gether 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
