Happily Ever After

Happily Ever After

What you want is right around the corner. 
Well within reach.
It's dark.
It's black. 
You can't see ahead.
You can only see behind your back.
Learn these lessons life tries to teach.

Don't throw away your happily ever after.
Don't trade in your happiness. love and laughter.
Don't throw away your dream come true
for someone who won't love you.

Look right.
Look left.
Don't rob your heart before it gets a chance to start.
It's not worth one single night.

Don't throw away your happily ever after.
Don't trade in your happiness. love and laughter.
Don't throw away your dream come true
for someone who won't love you.

It's not worth your broken heart.
It's not worth the regret it leaves behind.
Open your eyes. 
Stop being so blind. 
You're lovely. 
You're smart.

Don't throw away your happily ever after.
Don't trade in your happiness. love and laughter.
Don't throw away your dream come true
for someone who won't love you.

You are worth what he won't give you.
You are worth every dream that will come true.
