Happily Never After

That moment when you realize it's not worth it anymore...

I don't think I want this anymore
As she drops the ring to the floor
She says to herself, "You've left before"
"This time you will stay gone, that's for sure"

And he shouted something as
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway
She had never gone that far

Normally this would be the time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time, without crying
As she got into her car, she said
No 'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall

As she drove away she starts to smile
Realized she hadn't for a while
No destination, she drove for miles
Wondering why she stayed in such denial

Laughing about the way he shouted something as
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway
She had never gone that far

Normally this would be, the time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time, without crying
As she got into her car, she said
No 'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall

I'm done, I'm done, said I'm so done
So done, I'm done, I'm done
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
Free to be me

She inhales a breath
She'd never breathed before
Don't want no drama no more

She said
No 'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall
No 'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall
No 'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall

...and so you start to move on.
