Like They do In The Movies
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A mile off the coast is where you'll find me
A stubborn boy pushing a raft into the sea
For every wave there's a thousand times you tried
To make me feel what was real for you inside
I can't make you laugh and I can barely sing
I offer you and the rest of the world nothing
That's all I'll ever get from you now
I pushed you away till you finally walked out
But it’s all the same
There’s no one to blame
All I ever wanted was a love like the movies
You kissed me in the parking lot of the school where I got bullied
And I swear for awhile there I was the only thing you could see
Now it's your turn with somebody else
Hope they make you feel what I felt
You saved me and that’s the hardest thing
You killed my belief in the fairy tale ending
What’s the point in something that never lasts
Quick as love grows it burns out just as fast
It’s so strange to me now
What I’m living without
All I ever wanted was a love like the movies
You kissed me in the parking lot of the school where I got bullied
And I swear for awhile there I was the only thing you could see
Now it's your turn with somebody else
Hope they make you feel what I felt
All I ever wanted was a love like the movies
You kissed me in the parking lot of the school where I got bullied
And I swear for awhile there I was the only thing you could see
Now you'll try with anyone but me
Hope you love like they do in the movies
After all this time I can’t bother to pretend
I don’t miss love but I miss you my friend
