I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS Lyrics~ Every time he goes, she dies Every time she comes, she cries He was her long, bright future In the middle of a wrong, dark road He loved her, but he wasn't too sure If he could return the love she showed When she said, my love extends Beyond the realm of being friends He kissed her head And quietly he said It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me She said, how beautiful do I have to be? When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see, And I have loved you beautifully Well, ten thousand tears passed by But she never let him see her cry And he called up down one night He said, let's get in the car and just drive He talked a lot about loneliness But why, she didn't know And some song about memphis Was playin' on the radio She said, let's stop the car and slow dance, Won't you just give me a chance? He took her hand And hoped she'd understand It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me She said, how beautiful do I have to be? When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see, And I have loved you beautifully Well, she'll burn that bridge And build a house And swallow the smoke in her mouth She'll feel the burn And then make the choice To put the fire in her voice It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me She said, how beautiful do I have to be? When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see, And I have loved you beautifully. + Informações

ever after happily music and lyrics by jay brannan the smell of a candle freshly blown out the light of the clock shines on my skin like a sickly green moonlight on a pale white day's decay i try to wipe you from my memory but your face won't fade away another boy kissed me today i laughed in his mouth it's not funny that i'm not kissing you i'm not laughing because we fell through it's the stories they told us when we were younger about life and love how our happiness lies in the hands of another who'd fly in on the wings of a dove chorus well, that's the way the fairy tale goes boy meets girl and they wed with roses but that's not the way it seems to be and i'm pissed that they lied to me cuz boy meets boy and boy runs away or girl meets girl and she's afraid to stay we end up home alone watching court tv not living ever after happily you're right you are prince charming onto the next princess when he's bored with the last he's the hero of every story he's got his chapter in every girl's book he walks away with all the honor and glory but i wonder what else he took goodbye, prince charming and drown sleeping beauty shove cinderella's slipper where the sun don't shine toss the little mermaid back out to sea cuz the fairy godmother had to perform another abortion today and the seven dwarves live in the forest, of course, cuz they were driven away but this part of the story could spark a cultural rage so at the sound of the tone we just turn the page chorus outro starting .... + Informações

[chorus:] it's your heart that keeps the beat and it's your hand that spins the earth under my feet your laugh that's plundering through holy rolling thundering to turn ice to rain and make love from pain and let it be heard on this day i'll love honor and obey always, then, and now to you i make this vow if the mountains pierced the sky, and and a flood swept you from i i'd quickly 86 the seven seas and if a wind came crashing through and suddenly swept me from you i'd choke the storm into a balmy breeze and when we're good and old with much more to have and to hold and our minds begin to gather dust hand in hand we'll fade away but the history books will always say this was the golden age of us [chorus] (c) 2011 great depression publishing (bmi). + Informações
