I've got so much that I wanna say
But every time I open up my mouth the words just fall away
No, I can't help it, it's so cliché
But you're magic, and I wouldn't have you any other way
I thought happy endings were something made up
Just for the movies, what dreams are made of
I thought happy endings took fights and makeup
To have found the real thing, not Hollywood love
It's in the morning or the end of the day
When you're bringing me a cup of tea, the way you say my name
Not stars aligning or kiss in the rain
Or a girl locked up inside a towel waiting to be saved
I thought happy endings were something made up
Just for the movies, what dreams are made of
I thought happy endings took fights and makeup
To have found the real thing, not Hollywood love
The way you love me in the dark and hold me when I fall apart
I'd tell you but it's hard to explain
I can almost see the garden, the clothesline in the yard
And all the flowers that you're growing for me
I'm in your favorite sundress, there's something in the sunset
The colors, the glow on the shades
We're dancing in the kitchen, it's perfect 'cause it isn't
I love you like I can't explain
I thought happy endings were something made up
Just for the movies, what dreams are made of
I thought happy endings took fights and makeup
To have found the real thing, not Hollywood love
