Happy Ending (Mika cover)

Lena sings "Happy Ending" by Mika, in lieu of going to the Mika concert on Sunday. (Yes, I know it clips a few times. I picked this take because it's the most emotional.)

Lyrics:
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.

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
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've 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

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

2 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

This is the hardest story that I've 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

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love[repeat]

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

okay, so i left my last comment before i actually listened to the whole thing, now i must say that this is AMAZING. you have SUCH a powerful voice, and you put so much emotion in all your songs, and gah! you're amazing. Hopefully I'll be able to go to hogwarts prom to see you there.

alright, listen girl... i don't think i've ever seen a youtube video of someone literally crying at the end, and really feeling the lyrics to the song. you might be one of the most amazing singers i've seen in awhile. when you can sing mika, you can sing anything. keep going, because your good enough to be huge one day. i think i speak for everyone in the world who has/will see/seen you, that you are absolutely spectacular. you make me proud to love music. ^_^

You make me so happy. I know only what you have tweeted about Mika but so far I like what I hear. Also your hair is really growing. Just noticed. Miss your face. See you soon!

wow, your voice is amazing its a musicalvoice and I like it. awesome girl :D

[tomris9and3quarters]

you're amazing.

[voldified]

@butterbeerwrocks I want to clarify (7 months later) that your voice is amazing but singing Mika makes me appreciate it so much more. I'm not saying that Mika sings this 400 times better. I don't know if that's what you interpreted it as.

And in my defense of looking at 7 month old comments, I'm procrastinating. I don't know if that helps or hurts my case.
