Happy Ever After Me

(album: Making It Up As I Go - 2023)

"Wish you the best"
That's what you said
As you pulled out of my drive
"Let's keep in touch", "still be friends"
But I know those breakup lines

You don't mean it
You're just saying what people say
When they're leaving
But I ain't gonna be that way

I hope you spend the rest of your days and your nights
Trying to get back what we had
And every girl you try to move on and in with
You look in her eyes and wish they were mine
I could just lie
Wish you luck with your life
But, ooh, baby, honestly
If that's how it's gonna be
Hope that you ain't
Happy ever after me

When I see you out
Two years from now
And you're holding some blonde girl's hand
I bet you'll smile
Say "it's been a while", "hope you're well", "hey, how you been"

But you don't mean it
You're just saying what people say
But believe me
I ain't gonna be that way

I hope you spend the rest of your days and your nights
Trying to get back what we had
And every girl you try to move on and in with
You look in her eyes and wish they were mine
I could just lie
Wish you luck with your life
But, ooh, baby, honestly
If that's how it's gonna be
Hope that you ain't
Happy ever after me

You can lie with your pictures on Instagram
Play it off like you never miss holding my hand
Waste your time trying to find what you left
But it don't get better once you've had the best

I hope you spend the rest of your days and your nights
Trying to get back what we had
And every girl you try to move on and in with
You look in her eyes, no, they aren't mine
I could just lie
Wish you luck with your life
But ooh baby, honestly
If that's how it's gonna be
Hope that you ain't
Happy ever after me

I could just lie wish you luck with your life
Ooh baby, honestly
If that's how it's gonna be
Hope that you ain't happy ever after me
If that's how it's gonna be
Hope that you ain't happy ever after me
