Backstreet Boys - Happily Never After Lyrics

Artist: Backstreet Boys

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Shaffer Smith, Robert Shea Taylor

Ohh, yeah

"I don't think I want this anymore"
As she drops the ring to the floor
She says to herself, "You've left before"
(Yeah)
"This time you will stay gone, that's for sure"
(Yeah)

And he shouted something as
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway
She had never gone that far

Normally this would be
The time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time, without crying
As she got into her car, she said

No
'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me
Because finally
I know

I deserve better, after all
(Ohh)
I'll never let another teardrop fall"
(Fall)

As she drove away she starts to smile, yeah
Realized she hadn't for a while
No destination, she drove for miles
Wondering why she stayed in such denial

She was laughing about
The way he shouted something as
(Shouted something as)
She dragged her suitcase down the path

To the driveway
(To the driveway)
She had never gone that far
(Oh, no)

Normally this would be, the time that she
(Yeah)
Would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time, without crying
As she got into her car, she said

"No
'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me
(That just ain't for me)
Because finally

I know I deserve better
After all
(That just ain't for me
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)
I'll never let another teardrop fall"

I'm done, I'm done, said I'm so done
(So done, yeah)
I'm free, I'm free, so free
Free to feel the way I feel, yeah

She inhales a breath
She'd never breathed before
Don't want no drama no more

'Cause she says "No
'Happily Never After'
(After)
That just ain't for me"
(Oh, oh)

"I know
(I know)
I deserve, better all
(Ohh/don't wanna be/breathe)
I know I'll never let another teardrop fall"
(I'm done, I'm done)

"No
'Happily Never After'
(So done)
(I'm free, I, free)
That just ain't for me"
(That just ain't for me)
Because finally

I know
(I'm done, I'm done)
I deserve better
(So done)
After all
(I'm free, I'm free)
(Ohh)
I'll never let another teardrop fall"

"I'm done, "I'm done" "I'm done"
"I'm done, so done, so done"

Said I'm done
I'm done, I'm done
