Happy ever after never happens much these days

Forever almost never turns out that way

No I didn't mean to do you wrong

Getting it right just took too long.

Maybe you are better with someone else

Maybe I just saved you from myself

When I left you in the dark

Girl, I knew you'd never call my bluff

The writing on the wall just wasn't enough

You were falling in love and I was falling apart.

It's no secret, honey, I'm a wreck

Everything I touch becomes a mess

Same old story on every page

Yeah the endings never change.

Maybe you are better with someone else

Maybe I just saved you from myself

When I left you in the dark

Girl, I knew you'd never call my bluff

The writing on the wall just wasn't enough

You were falling in love and I was falling apart.

Girl, someday you're gonna find someone who doesn't waste your time.

Maybe you are better with someone else

Maybe I just saved you from myself

When I left you in the dark

Girl, I knew you'd never call my bluff

The writing on the wall just wasn't enough

You were falling in love and I was falling apart.
