[Verse 1:] Seventeen times a day I read your letter Every single time hoping it will get better When I get slowly in I close my eyes Hoping when I open mine Won't say the words goodbye Seventeen times a day I blame myself for making you go away There's no one else for me There's nowhere else I'd rather be [Chorus:] But unfortunately There's no happy ending No, baby This ain't a fairytale (oh no) It'll never never be No, baby This is where you pay for your mistakes There is no happy ending No devotion, no joy and laughter (no baby baby) No happy ending There's no happily ever after You had me at [Verse 2:] Seventeen times a day I think about it Boy, you're not here to stay I truly doubt it Did I just mess up? Took too long to fess up To the wrong that I had done You brought up with someone else
Seventeen times a day I ask myself why Was I in that escalade with another guy Who was nothing in comparison to you Because I was a fool then [Repeat Chorus:] [Bridge:] Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock Can somebody please rewind this clock? I need to go back to where we first met Where the months that had didn't happen yet Think of all the times that I was sneaking around Creeping with that other guy I lost the best thing I ever had Now it's just too damn late to get it back [Chorus:] There is no happy ending No, baby This ain't fairytale Never, never never, boy There is no happy ending No, baby This is a story where you pay for your mistakes No devotion, no joy and laughter No, baby There is no happy ending Theres no happily ever after No happy afters No kiss and make up No being friends
