Unhappy Ending from Obsolete by Eric Barao

UNHAPPY ENDING
(words/music by Eric Barao & Matt Gillooly)

came home and called your name
not a sound at all
a shattered picture frame
a nail on an empty wall
a hole in the sheet rock
the shape of my laptop
enough to make your heart stop

some things can't be helped
you can only save yourself
some things can't be helped
you can only save yourself
from an unhappy ending

fell into the red fez
to drown my misery
pick your poison, she said
someone hard and bittersweet
you can do much better
I could help you forget her
she'll only haunt you if you let her

some things can't be helped
you can only save yourself
some things can't be helped
you can only save yourself
from an unhappy ending

it's not the first time
it's not the worst time
shit happens every time
and nothing ever changes
nothing ever changes

some things can't be helped (how could you do it)
you can only save yourself (you really blew it)
some things can't be helped (did you think through it)
you can only save yourself
from an unhappy ending
an unhappy ending
an unhappy ending
