Once upon a time
I wrote you right into my fairytale
you were the leading man
and I fought tooth and nail
to get to our happy end
You were no prince charming
this much was easy to see
still your smile was disarming
completely taking over me
I’d tell myself maybe it was okay
If we were perfect from the start
As long as I could hear you say
that I was always in your heart
I’d heard that real love is nothing more
than two imperfect strangers
who refuse to walk out that door
both completely unaware of the danger
And in my head that picture painted was us
Although I couldn’t see it at the time
That wasn’t the story of our love
Looking back, I wish I could rewind
The problem with Hollywood
Is that movies end at the beginning
Just when things are getting good
The end credits start spinning
The same is true for us, now I see
at the time what I didn’t know
is what seemed like the last chapter for me
was just another turn on this road
There’s no use in reading story books
And expecting our lives to follow
Even today I can’t look
into the future and see my tomorrow
So I close the gilded page
to step back into my life
and enjoy the beautiful day
having never been your wife
