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
