Happy Endings

I walk through gardens of happy endings

But none were mine to choose

I've tried to pick one once or twice

But they always seem to refuse

I've seen my share of fairytales

But they always come to an end

They always seem to break my heart

For fairytales are only pretend

I've even wished upon a star

But wishes don't come true

I've cast my pennies down a well

But that was a failure too

I've even proposed a time or two

But it wasn't meant to be

For marriage was a happy ending

And it wasn't my destiny

I walk through gardens of happy endings

But none were mine to keep

I've tried my best to pull one out

But they're buried way too deep
