Once upon a time, I still believed in myself
I was happy being me and didn't need any help
And then somebody that I trusted crushed the feelings I felt
I guess a happy never after was the deal I was dealt

True love doesn't have a happy ending
'Cause when it's real, it doesn't ever end
If I did a rewrite, would I change a damn thing?
Would I flip the script or would I do it all again?

Am I the hero or maybe the villain?
Am I the sidekick or even the fill-in?
I'll keep going out for every role
In a story that'll never be told
If I wrote you a note, would you ever listen?
If we never met, would you be who I'm missing?
I'll keep writin' 'til I feel I'm complete
This story that'll never be we

I been havin' trouble with believin' in love
Ever since the day you left me, it depressed me and thus
I haven't met somebody worth believin' in much
I guess the movies I grew up on didn't teach me enough
Learnin' to grow and go and sew a broken heart up
Doesn't happen in an hour just like Hollywood does
There's a problem and you solve it, that's the way they taught us
But how am I s'posed to fix me if I'm all that I've got?

True love doesn't have a happy ending (no, it doesn't)
'Cause when it's real, it doesn't ever end
If I did a rewrite, would I change a damn thing?
Would I flip the script or would I do it all again?

Am I the hero or maybe the villain?
Maybe the sidekick or even the fill-in
I'll keep going out for every role
In a story that'll never grow old
If I wrote you a note, I hope that you'd listen
And if we never met, you'd probably be who I'm missing
I'll keep writin' 'til I feel I'm' complete
This story that'll never be we
Yeah, we'll never be we
Yeah, we'll never be we

Fuck
