"You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending."
- Avril Lavigne, "My Happy Ending" (Under My Skin, Arista 2004)
Those are, actually, really good break-up lyrics, delivered perfectly with just the right amount of piss and vinegar by Lavigne. I refuse the idea of her as some sort of punk, but buy her as a getting-better pop-rocker, certainly. [And if she'd cut the raccoon mascara look, she might actually be pretty.] It pains me to cop to liking one of Avril's singles, but this might be one of 2004's best.
