He put it on me, I put it on Like there was nothing wrong It didn't fit, it wasn't right Wasn't just the size They say you know, when you know I don't know I didn't feel the fairytale feeling, no Am I a stupid girl for even dreaming that I could? If it's not like the movies That's how it should be, yeah When he's the one, I'll come undone And my world will stop spinning And that's just the beginning, yeah Snow White said when I was young "one day my prince will come" So I wait for that date They say it's hard to meet your match Gotta find my better half So we make perfect shapes If stars don't align, if it doesn't stop time If you cant see the sign, wait for it One hundred percent, with every penny spent He'll be the one that finishes your sentences If it's not like the movies That's how it should be When he's the one, I'll come undone And my world will stop spinning And thats just the beginning Oh yeah, 'cause I know you're out there And you're, you're looking for me, ooh It's a crazy idea that you were made perfectly for me You'll see Just like the movies That's how it will be Cinematic and dramatic with the perfect ending Oh, it's not like the movies Oh, but that's how it will be, yeah When he's the one, you'll come undone And your world will stop spinning And it's just the beginning

I guess the dance is over now So you just courtsey and I'll bow And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne Then I'll just take what's left of me Right back to where it used to be And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No, you never got to hear those violins, no The castles that you built so high Were just too steep for me to climb And I guess these dirty streets of mine Were just too rough for you I wish I could've helped you see Just one of your sweet childhood dreams But though I tried, I could not make not one of them come true And I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No, you never got to hear those violins Oh, I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins No, you never got to hear those violins

Maybe one day I'll fall in a bookstore Into the arms of a guy We'll sneak into bars And gaze at the stars Surrounded by fireflies Oh, I'd like to sleep in 'til two on a Sunday And listen to the bluebirds sigh Get soaked in the rain And smile through the pain Slow dance under stormy skies Maybe I'm just old-fashioned Read too many fairytales It's no wonder I've had no luck No one's ever good enough I want a love like I've seen in the movies That's why I'll never fall in love Oh, maybe I'm just old-fashioned Read too many fairytales It's no wonder I've had no luck No one's ever good enough I want a love like I've seen in the movies That's why I'll never fall in love

Another romance just came out the other day Another guy thats left out standing in the rain He's standing out there with his heart out But he's lovin every second of it Some guy's leaving roses at your door Throwing rocks up at your window landing on the floor Romantic? I dont know, but I saw it in movie And I'm loving every second of it All these stupid movies make me fall in love But I've been stuck up in my room all day All these scripted love scenes just remind me I'm alone Just let me be sad and lonely I wish love was like a movie scene I kinda like the way it feels to me Saying "I love you" under stars Making wishes, crossing hearts Finding love right where we are Just like in the movies Me and myself we on movie streak The same old love songs playing on repeat I laugh, I cry, I get up in my feels again But I'm loving every second of it I've been by myself watching the same old show Nothing left to do but just sit all alone 3 seasons in 3 days but I'm doin' okay Scrolling through my feed I'm not the only one All these stupid movies make me fall in love But I've been stuck up in my room all day All these scripted love scenes just remind me I'm alone Just let me be sad and lonely I wish love was like a movie scene I kinda like the way feels to me Saying "I love you" under stars Making wishes, crossing hearts Finding love right where we are Just like in the movies Pause replay, still awake Save it for another day Fall in love cry again Break my heart then kiss make up I don't want another movie scene I don't want love I don't want one more tragedy All these stupid movies make me fall in love But I've been stuck up in my room all day All these scripted love scenes just remind me I'm alone Just let me be sad lonely I wish love was like a movie scene I kinda like the way feels to me Saying "I love you" under stars Making wishes, crossing hearts Finding love right where we are Just like in the movies I wish love was like a movie scene I kinda like the way feels to me Saying "I love you" under stars Making wishes, crossing hearts Finding love right where we are Just like in the movies

How was I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones Been puttin' on a show for everybody but me I've been comin' home alone Dyin' fast and livin' low At least that's how it feels when I can't sleep I don't think that I can do this anymore Lyin' awake another night here on the bathroom floor This isn't what I wanted, or is it everythin' I just wanna make sense of it all Can't swim when I'm sinkin' How was I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones? Been puttin' on a show for everybody but me I've been comin' home alone Dyin' fast and livin' low At least that's how it feels when I can't sleep Shapeshiftin' Shakin' hands with everythin' that's hauntin' me How can I stand when I don't trust my own two feet Yeah, this isn't what I wanted or is it everythin' I just need to make sense of it all How was I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones? Been puttin' on a show for everybody but me I've been comin' home alone Dyin' fast and livin' low At least that's how it feels when I can't sleep If I fade away Will they miss me? They call my name But it's too late Am I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones? Been puttin' on a show Shapeshiftin' Shapeshiftin' Shapeshiftin' I feel nothin' in my bones Shapeshiftin' Can't swim when I'm sinkin' How was I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones? Been puttin' on a show for everybody but me I've been comin' home alone Dyin' fast and livin' low At least that's how it feels when I can't sleep If I fade away Will they miss me?

Long ago Just like the hearse you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on Just like the match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like a blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Came a time When every star fall Brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like a blade you stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Well if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Can you hear me Are you near me Can we pretend to leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide What's the worst I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight

In the car, I just can't wait To pick you up on our very first date Is it cool if I hold your hand? Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance? Do you like my stupid hair? Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear? I'm too scared of what you think You make me nervous, so I really can't eat Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over Honest, let's make this night last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever When you smile, I melt inside I'm not worthy of a minute of your time I really wish it was only me and you I'm jealous of everybody in the room Please don't look at me with those eyes! Please don't hint that you're capable of lies I dread the thought of our very first kiss A target that I'm probably gonna miss Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over Honest, let's make this night last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over Honest, let's make this night last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever

Could've swore you were the one With the way that you made me feel weightless And Lord knows that I came undone You took the pain in my heart and defaced it Then you caught me off guard Left me standin' there broken Thought I knew who you were God, I don't understand it Straight out of a movie scene I thought that was you and me I thought that was us Said that you could be mine, play your cards right Under blankets of stars, drunken sleepless nights I hate that I saw forever in your eyes You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime Now I lay here awake wonderin' where'd you go? And did you ever feel the same, guess I'll never know I hate that I saw forever in your lies You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime Then you caught me off guard Left me standin' there broken Now I can't even go to the southside 'Cause I fear that I'll run into you And it's safe to say I'm losin' my damn mind Nothin' feels like it used to When did it get so hard Oh, to let go and move on? I don't know where to start How did I get it so wrong? Still stuck in a movie scene Where it's only you and me Yeah, it's only us Said that you could be mine, play your cards right Under blankets of stars, drunken sleepless nights I hate that I saw forever in your eyes You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime Now I lay here awake wonderin' where'd you go? And did you ever feel the same, guess I'll never know I hate that I saw forever in your lies You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime Left me standin' there broken Said that you could be mine, play your cards right Under blankets of stars, drunken sleepless nights I hate that I saw forever in your eyes You stole my heart and you ran (like a true crime) Now I lay here awake wonderin' where'd you go? (Oh) And did you ever feel the same, guess I'll never know (I'll never know) I hate that I saw forever in your lies (oh) You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime Then you caught me off guard Left me standin' there broken (oh) Thought I knew who you were You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime

Oh look, there I go Pushing everything away just to be alone Inside my brain, where all the thoughts They are, they make me anxious This time I hit a new low I think I'm losing it and it shows 'Cause I can't sleep, and I can't eat, and I can't breathe Oh God, am I the constant cause of my worst nightmare? Take my medication, numb the pain, so they can't say that I'm a wreck, I'm a mess I'm a certified depressant Overthink, second-guess Am I happy or pretending? Lately I'm right on the edge 'Cause I'm sick of hearing I'm a wreck, I'm a mess I'm a certified depressant, yeah (Oh look, there I go, pushing everything away again) Compare my hopes and dreams To someone else's behind the screen But what's the point, yeah what's it mean When I'll never be good enough for me? God, am I the constant cause of my worst nightmare? Take my medication, numb the pain, so they can't say that I'm a wreck, I'm a mess I'm a certified depressant Overthink, second-guess Am I happy or pretending? Lately I'm right on the edge 'Cause I'm sick of hearing I'm a wreck, I'm a mess I'm a certified depressant, yeah Oh look, there I go, pushing everything away again Oh look, there I go, pushing everything away, yeah It's all in my head (it's all in my) It's all in my head (it's all in my) I'm a wreck, I'm a mess I'm a certified depressant Overthink, second-guess Am I happy or pretending?
