Lyrics
Happy ever after don't exist
Expressing skepticism about the existence of happy ever after.
Happy ever after don't exist
Reiteration of the skepticism about the possibility of a perfect, everlasting happiness.
Tell me that you're sorry
Requesting an apology from someone.
Said that you got angry
Stating that the person claimed to be angry.
Didn't mean it in the first place
Clarifying that the anger was not intentional.
Said it was all my fault
Attributing blame to the speaker and admitting fault.
I should've done better
Expressing regret for not doing better.
That I'm the only one to blame
Accepting sole responsibility for the situation.
But I waited for you all last night
Indicating a waiting period for someone.
Left my slipper at the step this time
Symbolic reference to leaving a trace of oneself, like Cinderella's slipper.
I watch the clock go past midnight
Observing the passage of time until midnight.
Guess happy ever afters don't exist
Realization that perfect, fairy-tale endings may not be achievable.
Happy ever afters don't exist
Reiteration of the belief that happy ever afters are unattainable.
Happy ever afters don't exist
Continued skepticism about the existence of perfect happiness.
Dance around in circles
Describing a previous joyful and carefree state.
Our feet would turn purple
Reflecting on the transformation of a once joyful relationship.
Now we sit across the room it's strange
Noting the current distance and unfamiliarity in the relationship.
Used to laugh till morning
Recalling joyful moments that used to extend into the morning.
Now we argue in the evening
Highlighting the shift from joy to evening arguments.
It's funny how our story changed
Reflecting on the ironic and unexpected changes in the relationship.
And I waited for you all last night
Repeating the waiting theme from a previous stanza.
Left my slipper on the step this time
Symbolic reference to leaving a trace again, emphasizing the recurring situation.
I watch the clock go past midnight
Observing the passage of time again, reinforcing the idea of waiting.
I guess happy ever afters don't exist
Acknowledging the absence of a happy ever after.
Happy ever afters don't exist
Reiteration of the disbelief in the existence of perfect happiness.
Happy ever afters don't exist
Continued skepticism about the attainability of a fairy-tale ending.
I waited for you all last night
Repeating the waiting theme, emphasizing the persistence of the situation.
When you didn't show up this time
Expressing disappointment at the absence of the person again.
I watch the clock go past midnight
Observing the passage of time once more, emphasizing the recurring nature of waiting.
Cause happy ever afters don't exist
Final assertion that happy ever afters do not exist.
