Brian:
“I don’t think I want this anymore,”
As she drops the ring to the floor.
She says to herself, “You’ve left before, (yeah)
This time you will stay gone, that’s for sure.” (yeah)

Nick:
And he shouted something as,
She dragged her suitcase down the path,
to the driveway.
She had never gone that far.

Normally this would be
the time that she
would let him talk her out of leaving,
But this time, without crying,
as she got into her car, she said,

Chorus:
“No ‘Happily Ever After’
That just ain’t for me.
Because finally,
I know I deserve better, after all (ooooh)
I’ll never let another teardrop fall.”

(AJ: Falllllll)

AJ:
As she drove away she starts to smile, (yeah)
Realized she hadn’t for a while.
No destination, she drove for miles
Wondering why she stayed in such denial.

Nick:
She was laughing about the way he shouted something as
(shouted something as)
she dragged her suitcase down the path
to the driveway (to the driveway), she had never gone that far.
Normally this would be, the time that she
would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time, without crying,
as she got into her car, she said,

Chorus:
“No ‘Happily Ever After’
That just ain’t for me
(that just ain’t for me)
I know I deserve better
After all
(that just ain’t for me, yeah, yeah yeah)
I’ll never let another teardrop fall.”

Howie
I’m done, I’m done, said I’m so done,
I’m free, I’m free, so free
Free to feel the way I feel

Howie:
She inhales a breath she never breathed before
Don’t want no drama no more

Brian? Howie?
‘Cause she says “No happily ever after (after)
That just ain’t for me” (wo, oh)

Chorus:
“I know I deserve better all
I know I’ll never let another teardrop fall”
(I’m done, I’m done)
“No happily ever after (so done)
(I’m free, I, free)
That just ain’t for me”
because finally,
I know (I’m done, I’m done) I deserve better, after all
(I’m free, I, free)
I know after all (I’m free, I, free)
I’ll never let another teardrop fall”

(trailing vocals, “I’m done, “I’m done” “I’m done”,
“I’m done, so done, so done”)

Yeah, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done
