Lyrics
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 And 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
