About This Track

“My Happy Ending” is a song written and produced by Avril Lavigne and Butch Walker for Lavigne’s second album, Under My Skin (2004). It was released as the album’s second internationally released single in 2004 (see 2004 in music) and became Lavigne’s third most successful single . It peaked higher than “Don’t Tell Me”, the album’s first single. In the United Kingdom, it reached the top five, in the United States, it peaked at number nine, doing better in Mexico where it peaked at number 1. The RIAA certified “My Happy Ending” platinum in January 2005, making it Lavigne’s second platinum single after “Complicated” (2002). The song contains the word shit, which generated a small amount of controversy. This song was once very popular on Radio Disney, and because Disney is targeted toward children, the word shit was replaced by stuff in the radio edit of the song.

Structurally, the song is written in 4/4 style and has a repeated hook in both the chorus and in the intro and outro. The song’s bridge is hailed as the strongest bridge in Lavigne’s songs both vocally and lyrically.

LYRICS
so much for my happy ending
so much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh…

Let’s talk this over
It’s not like we’re dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don’t leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of our memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
