Happily Ever After

by Catherine   Aug 1, 2004


Make believe it's happening
Make believe it's true
Make believe I'm the only one
NOT in love with you
Make believe is magic
Make believe is untrue
Make believes not all cracked up
Hate to break it, neither are you
You're no the guy that left
You're not the guy from before
What happened to my best friend
This guy is such a sore
When you came back you were different
There was a definite change
What happened to the old you, the real you
Who made this exchange?
No matter how I try
To convince myself about you
I'm still in love with you, the old you
The new one i try not to pursue
When I look at you now
I try to picture a different man
But it's too hard sometimes
The new overrides the old man
You only care about looks and money
You only care about power and fame
You only care about what's around you
But inside it's all the same
Won't you shed this costume?
Won't you take off this mask?
Won't you please do it for me?
Just that one simple little task
If I had it my way
You would have never gone anywhere
You would have stayed right here beside me
The two of us without any cares
I'll leave you with two choices
Of one you must choose
You either leave this new way
Or stay and both you and I lose
Because I think your hiding
From the old ways we had before
Even though they were happy times
In the new ones, the fun is more
But are you truly happy in this dreamland you've created?
Because the happiness is a big factor
Or would you rather come back with me?
So once and for all there might be a happily ever after
