version of love

thanks a lot

shakespeare

where's my juliet?

books have set my standards high

i guess my type is non-existent

my dumb ideas fool me again

always lose myself in words in which i'm not holding the pen

ooh

but now i'm done with pretending

i don't need happy endings anymore

oh yeah

i'm tired of falling

oh yeah

for someone else's story

'cause he gets the girl and i get papercuts

i guess it's time to write my own personal version of love

said it's just a script

faces on a screen

yet i'm in love with how in love they sound when all they are is acting

it's unrealistic

they're way too good looking

can't use their dialogue

might come off odd 'cause i'm no ryan gosling

ooh

don't need those sappy movies

fairytales they don't suit me anymore

oh yeah

i'm tired of falling

oh yeah

for someone else's story

'cause he gets the girl and i get ticket stubs

i guess it's time to write my own personal version of love

my own personal version of love

my own personal version of love

i'm tired of the fiction

all of the chick flicks

i want my own love actually"
