[Taylor Acorn - Like The Movies lyrics]
Wish I knew when I was eight that the prince didn't always stay and
Not to believe everything I'd see on the television
'Cause after my dad died, even though she never let us see her cry
My mom was broken inside 'cause she just lost her best friend
Why don't they prepare you for that?
When the picture-perfect life you had goes black
Love ain't like the movies, you can't save it with a song
It ain't one big happy ending when you wake up and it's all gone
When no one comes to save you, you'll learn to save yourself
The world, it just keeps going on while you're going through hell
No, it's not all that it's cut out to be
Love ain't like the movies
Fast forward to twenty-three and I thought he was the one for me
And we would get married and buy a house with a yard, have a couple kids
Then one day it all went bad and he chose her and left me
With a couple bags to pack, but I knew that he was never coming back
Why don't they prepare you for that?
When the picture-perfect life you thought you had goes black
Love ain't like the movies, you can't save it with a song
It ain't one big happy ending when you wake up and it's all gone
When no one comes to save you, you'll learn to save yourself
While watching them ride off into the sun with someone else
No, it's not all that it's cut out to be
Oh, when the lights come on and the rug is pulled
Wish it was exposed before the curtains closed
But it's not and it hurts, 'cause it's real
Love ain't like the movies, you can't save it with a song
It ain't one big happy ending when you wake up and it's all gone
And no one comes to save you, you'll learn to save yourself
The world, it just keeps going on while you're going through hell
No, it's not all that it's cut out to be
'Cause you can't hide behind a silver screen
Love ain't like the movies
Not to believe everything I'd see on the television
'Cause after my dad died, even though she never let us see her cry
My mom was broken inside 'cause she just lost her best friend
Why don't they prepare you for that?
When the picture-perfect life you had goes black
Love ain't like the movies, you can't save it with a song
It ain't one big happy ending when you wake up and it's all gone
When no one comes to save you, you'll learn to save yourself
The world, it just keeps going on while you're going through hell
No, it's not all that it's cut out to be
Love ain't like the movies
Fast forward to twenty-three and I thought he was the one for me
And we would get married and buy a house with a yard, have a couple kids
Then one day it all went bad and he chose her and left me
With a couple bags to pack, but I knew that he was never coming back
Why don't they prepare you for that?
When the picture-perfect life you thought you had goes black
Love ain't like the movies, you can't save it with a song
It ain't one big happy ending when you wake up and it's all gone
When no one comes to save you, you'll learn to save yourself
While watching them ride off into the sun with someone else
No, it's not all that it's cut out to be

Love ain't like the movies, you can't save it with a song

And no one comes to save you, you'll learn to save yourself
The world, it just keeps going on while you're going through hell
No, it's not all that it's cut out to be
'Cause you can't hide behind a silver screen
Love ain't like the movies
