Movies, movies

I want a love like the movies.

I look at you like you're perfect for me

If you are the diamond then I am the ring

All of our friends think of us jealously

We're so sweet, so sweet.

Built us a world and I gave you the key

Still can't believe that this isn't a dream

Falling in love with a damn fantasy

That's so me, so me

But I've been living life in fiction.

In my head we're dancing in the dark

In my head we kiss under the stars

But we know that's not what we're doing

'cause, baby, this ain't like the movies.

Movies, movies

I want a love like the movies.

We go to parties with people you know

We're holding hands, but it's all just for show

'cause monday through friday we both barely spoke

They don't know

They can't know

That just on the drive here I was looking through your texts

I was screaming my damn head off

"How you still love your ex?"

And you say that it's over

But why does she call you at 3am and 4am?

That's a funny way of "staying friends".

In my head we're dancing in the dark

In my head we kiss under the stars

But we know that's not what we're doing

'cause baby, this ain't like the movies.

In my head we never grow apart

In my head you never break my heart

But we know that's not what we're doing

'cause baby, this ain't like the movies.

Movies, movies

I want a love like the movies

Movies, movies

I want a love like the movies

Baby, we lost all the love that we had

(Movies, movies)

And I can't pretend it'll ever come back

(I want a love like the movies)

And I think you're seeing right through me

(Movies, movies)

That, baby, this ain't like the movies

And I want a love like the movies.
