Girls in the movies

First off, I belive most girls will be able to some how relate to this! I hope you enjoy

Verse one

I grew up watching happy endings
 On a screen in my bedroom light
 They fall in love in under two hours
 I’ve been waiting my whole life

They don’t show the in-between parts
 Or the nights you don’t sleep
 They don’t show the girls like me
 Wondering why it’s always me

Pre-chorus

I practiced lines in the mirror

Like maybe I missed my cue

If this was all just a story

I’d be the one he chooses too

Chorus

Why can’t I be like the girls in the movies?
 They be getting the guys like it’s easy
 But it doesn’t seem real when it’s me
 Maybe they should make one of my life

They always turn away every time
 Guess I’m not written in that light
 Well I guess the girls in the movies
 Were wrong anyway

Verse two

They always know what to say
 At the perfect time
 I freeze up when it’s real
 And I’m always the background sign

You say I’m “really great, just not like that”
 Like that’s supposed to be kind
 I smile and say it’s fine
 Then cry in the bathroom light

Pre chorus (2)

I’d change my hair, my laugh, my name

If that’s what it takes for you

But no matter how hard I try

I’m never the girl you choose

Chorus

Why can’t I be like the girls in the movies?
 They be getting the guys like it’s easy
 But it doesn’t seem real when it’s me
 Maybe they should make one of my life

They always turn away every time
 Guess I’m not written in that light
 Well I guess the girls in the movies
 Were wrong anyway

Bridge

Maybe I’m too real, maybe that’s why
 They cut my scenes, leave me behind
 If love’s a role I had to play
 Why didn’t I get a say?

I’m tired of waiting for someone
 Who never looks my way
 If this is how the story goes
 I don’t want it anyway

Chorus

Why can’t I be like the girls in the movies?
 Perfect timing, perfect scenes
 Maybe I was never meant
 For the ending they all see

They always turn away every time
 Guess I’ll write my own this time
 Yeah I guess the girls in the movies
 Were wrong anyway

Outro

Well, yeah, they were wrong anyway…
