Happily Ever After Yesterday

An Original Song By: Amy Alls

I wish I didn’t believe in happily ever after
I wish I didn’t feel the need to start again
I hope for the strength to move on and face the past with laughter
I will try until my dying day to live with this pain

Though, sometimes I wish
I could just walk away
And leave yesterday to goodbye
With my hands up
I could give up
I wouldn’t have to live up
To the promise I’d always keep trying

I wish I didn’t believe that love was forever
I wish I didn’t feel the need to always hold on
I hope for the memories to fade so I won’t remember
I will try to fight this refrain ‘til the day I am gone

If I could choose
I would break down and cry
And drown myself in my own tears
With my hands up
I could give up
I wouldn’t have to live up
To the strain on my heart all these years

But I’ll always believe in happily ever after
I will always succumb to the need to start again
I hope for the strength to move on and face the past with laughter
I will try until my dying day to live with this pain
