What if happy ever after is endin' while it's good?
'Cause these days we've had together, were the best we ever could
It's dumb to let it linger, and it's probably for the best
But I wouldn't change a thing
You know I'm hopeless and romantic, a natural disaster
Tornado crashin' through your life, I've heard it all before
And I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the reason why
You get expelled or fired

And I wish I could've been your high school sweetheart
Follow you to all these places
But that was all a dream from a Hollywood scene
We were never gonna have luck chasin'

We're on the last walk home, and all I can think is
Why does it hurt so, why does it hurt so much, my dear?
It doesn't feel like we practiced
Now you're in my arms, I don't wanna let go
I know it breaks our, I know it breaks our hearts
But it was so beautiful while it lasted
And if we could do it again, my love
You wouldn't even have to ask it
But it was beautiful while it lasted

So, your house is in the distance, our time is runnin' out
We're both doin' everything we can to slow it down
So I keep pickin' flowers and putting 'em in your hair
Till an ecosystem's there
And maybe if you love someone, you have to let it go
And, one day, if it ends up fallin' right back at your door
Maybe then that's how you'll know if that love was meant to be
If life works out a way of bringin' you back to me

I'll never let you go 'cause all I can think is
Why does it hurt so, why does it hurt so much, my dear?
It doesn't feel like we practiced
Now you're in my arms, I don't wanna let go
I know it breaks our, I know it breaks our hearts
But it was so beautiful while it lasted
And if we could do it again, my love
You wouldn't even have to ask it
But it was beautiful while it lasted

(Beautiful)
(Beautiful)
(Beautiful)
(Beautiful)
If we could do it again, my love
You wouldn't even have to ask it
But it was beautiful while it lasted
