Happily Never After

Ella

OUR TIME IS ENDING THIS I CAN TELL
THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT ?DING DONG? GOES THE BELL
I HOP IN THE CARRIAGE AND OFF I GO
FOR WHERE I AM GOING NO ONE CAN KNOW
BUT UNLIKE A BOOK THIS STORY ISNT A FAIRY TALE
ITS ABOUT TWO LOVERS WHO?S LOVE HAS GROWN STALE
THEY FOUGHT ALL THE TIME AND SAID HURTFUL THINGS
THE ?HE SAID? THE ?SHE SAID? AND ALL THAT IT BRINGS
BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE THEY CANT WALK AWAY
BUT HAPPY TOGETHER THEY WILL NEVER STAY
DO THEY CUT THEIR LOSES AND CHALK IT UP TO BAD LUCK?
OR DO THEY GO BACK AND FORTH AND JUST PASS THE BUCK?
?IM ALWAYS HERE AND YOU?RE NEVER HOME
IM SO SICK AND TIRED OF BEING ALONE?
?I WANT MY SPACE I NEED TO BE FREE
BUT I WANT TO COME HOME TO YOU WAITING FOR ME?
THE THOUGHT OF WALKING AWAY CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
BECAUSE I ALWAYS THOUGHT ONE DAY WE?D BE HUSBAND AND WIFE
BUT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN FOR US AS IT?S NOT IN THE PLAN
IM JUST A WOMAN AND YOU?RE JUST A MAN
I GUESS THAT?S WHAT WE GET AND DESERVE IN THE END
TO START ALL OVER AND TRY IT AGAIN
WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, SOMEBODY NEW
BUT THAT SOMEBODY WILL NEVER BE YOU
I?LL NEVER AGAIN KISS YOU OR HOLD YOUR HAND
AND BESIDE YOU I WILL NO LONGER STAND
TWO PEOPLE, TWO HEARTS AS ONE NO MORE
LEFT TO GO OUT ON THEIR OWN AND SEE WHAT?S IN STORE
MY NEXT LIFE IS BEGINNING AND I HAVE TO GO
BUT LOVE YOU I DO AND I NEED YOU TO KNOW
WHEREVER I GO YOU?LL BE IN MY MIND
BUT RIGHT NOW I NEED TO MOVE ON AND LEAVE YOU BEHIND
THIS IS THE HARDEST THING TO DO I SWEAR
STANDING BEFORE YOU STRIPPED, BLEEDING, AND BARE
TO ENTER A LIFE, ONE WITHOUT YOU
BUT PUFFIN I LOVE YOU GOD KNOWS THAT I DO
AND YOU WILL NEVER FIND A GIRL THAT WILL LOVE YOU MORE THAN ME
BUT I WILL LET YOU SPREAD YOUR WINGS, I WILL SET YOU FREE
