Happy Ever After (After All)

~ Lyrics ~

Got your happy ever after, after all

After all I’ve done 

You're the lucky one

Got your happy ever after, after all

After all I’ve done 

I don’t like fairy tales, anymore

I know that life is just a game and there’s a losing score

I don’t believe in magic, anymore

I gave up my last dime until your cards hit the floor

I don’t care for your rainbows or your pot of gold

If you believe in those fables,

Why’d she go?

I don’t like Cinderella nah

It hurts too much

Snow White don’t know what it’s like to not be good enough

And Sleeping Beauty ain’t never wanted to not wake up

So how could you ever tell me about true love?

Forget the 7 dwarves

I’ve been fightin’ 7 wars

In my head the 7 sins that try to pull me off the course

7 swords, 7 more felt ’em in my back before

I don’t think you understand how bad I’m truly torn

I’m not Prince Charming

They call me David Disarming

Rather alarming when I’m scaring

At the party, God I’m sorry

I don’t wanna hear the stories, yeah they’ve gotten old

I do not like the heroes 

Villains are relatable

I don’t like fairy tales, anymore

I know that life is just a game and there’s a losing score

Got your happy ever after, after all

After all I’ve done 

You'd watch me crash and fall

I don’t care for your rainbows or your pot of gold

If you believe in those fables,

Why’d she go?

I’m pullin’ teeth just tryin’ to find the Tooth Fairy

You can keep your superstitions they don’t scare me

I’m skippin’ rocks with Goldy Locks and she’s starving

Ain’t no kings, no queens, no armies

Can’t find no love in a potion

Can’t melt my heart till it’s frozen

My tear’s a drop in the ocean

So take my hand but can’t hold it

My faith is gone and you know it

There ain’t no touch that feels golden anymore

Close my eyes and slam the door

After Cupid makes his rounds

Guess I’m hit, I’m bleeding out

Pickin’ pieces off the ground

Of my heart it’s scattered ‘round

Now the rain is comin’ down

But not deep enough to drown

I could scream, won’t make a sound

I wish I could drown it out

I was born with bad luck so I shattered my reflection

‘Cause when I look in the mirror it isn’t who I expected

I get it, I guess it’s just what happens when you feel small

I guess it’s not a happy ever after, after all

I don’t like fairy tales, anymore

I know that life is just a game and there’s a losing score

Got your happy ever after, after all

After all I’ve done 

You'd watch me crash and fall

I don’t care for your rainbows or your pot of gold

If you believe in those fables,

Why’d she go?

I don’t like fairy tales, anymore

I know that life is just a game and there’s a losing score
