"Wish I knew when I was eight that the prince didn't always stay and / not to believe everything I'd see on the television / Cause after my dad died, even though she never let us see her cry / my mom was broken inside / cause she just lost her best friend
Why don't they prepare you for that? / When the picture-perfect life you had goes black
Love ain't like the movies / you can't save it with a song / It ain't one big happy ending when you wake up and it's all gone / When no one comes to save you, you'll learn to save yourself / The world, it just keeps going on while you're going through hell / No, it's not all that it's cut out to be / Love ain't like the movies
Fast forward to twenty-three and / I thought he was the one for me / and we would get married and buy a house with a yard, have a couple kids / Then one day it all went bad / and he chose her and left me with a couple bags to pack / but I knew that he was never coming back
Why don't they prepare you for that? / When the picture-perfect life you thought you had goes black
Love ain't like the movies / you can't save it with a song / It ain't one big happy ending when you wake up and it's all gone / When no one comes to save you, you'll learn to save yourself / While watching them ride off into the sun with someone else / No it's not all that it's cut out to be
Oh, when the lights come on and the rug is pulled / wish it was exposed before the curtains closed / But it's not and it hurts / cause it's real
Love ain't like the movies / you can't save it with a song / It ain't one big happy ending, when you wake up and it's all gone / When no one comes to save you, you'll learn to save yourself / The world, it just keeps going on while you're going through hell / No, it's not all that it's cut out to be / Cause you can't hide behind a silver screen / Love ain't like the movies..."
