Happily Ever After Lyrics

You're the one who's sorry
I'm the one who gives a damn
Happily ever after I am
I never saw you falling
Why was I the last to know?
You could have held on tighter
Instead of letting go

You said you believed in yesterday
Then why did you throw this away?
You don't need me anymore
You don't understand
Everything I am
This is what I need to be

You can run away
But you'll understand
When I find this part of me
You're the one who faltered

Is this how it had to end?
Every day I wonder
How to begin again
You said you believed in yesterday
Then why did you throw this away?
You don't need me anymore
You don't understand
Everything I am
This is what I need to be

You can run away
But you'll understand
When I find this part of me
Why did you throw this away?
How could you throw this away?
You don't need me anymore
You don't understand
Everything I am
This is what I need to be

You can run away
But you'll understand
When I find this part of me
You don't understand
Everything I am
This is what I need to be
You can run away
But you'll understand
When I find this part of me
Was it me?
I don't know

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
