Verse 1:
You're beautiful, can't you see the effect you have on me
You've taken me for granted, and I can't stand it
My heart aches, with every step I take
but I'm still alive, yeah I'll be fine
what's it gonna take to make you mine?
what's it gonna take to make you mine?

Chorus:
story book endings, but where's my happy ever after?
Something is missing, I just need to capture it
Sometimes we forget what really matters
Because we're too focused on our happy ever afters

Verse 2:
I feel so dysfunctional since things
between us changed
I take two steps forward,
then one step back again
I'm trying, and trying
but this was all me
It's all my fault, and I am so sorry

Chorus:
Story book endings, but where's my happy ever after?
Something is missing, I just need to capture it
Sometimes we forget what really matters
Because we're too focused on our happy ever afters

Bridge:
I wish we could have saved what we had
Now it just hurts to look back
If it's safe to say I miss you,
then I miss you
but if you moved on,
I still don't take it back

Chorus:
Story book endings, but where's my happy ever after?
Something is missing, I just need to capture it
Sometimes we forget what really matters
Because we're too focused on our happy ever afters

You're heartbreaking, it's clear to see the hold you have on me
You're making me regret this, and no I won't forget it
