Version of love

Thanks a lot, Shakespeare
Where's my Juliet?
Books have set my standards high
I guess my type is non-existent

My dumb ideas fool me again
Always lose myself in words in which I'm not holding the pen
Ooh
But now I'm done with pretending
I don't need happy endings anymore

Oh, yeah
I'm tired of falling
Oh, yeah
For someone else's story
'Cause he gets the girl and I get papercuts
I guess it's time to write
My own personal version of love

Said it's just a script
Faces on a screen
Yet I'm in love with how in love
They sound when all they are is acting

It's unrealistic
They're way too good looking
Can't use their dialogue might come off odd
'Cause I'm no Ryan Gosling
Don't need those sappy movies
Fairytales they don't suit me anymore

Oh, yeah
I'm tired of falling
Oh, yeah

For someone else's story
'Cause he gets the girl and I get ticket stubs
I guess it's time to write
My own personal version of love
My own personal version of love
My own personal version of love

I'm tired of the fiction, all of the chick flicks
I want my own Love Actually
'Cause who says that romance
Can't happen to me?

Oh, yeah
I'm tired of falling
Oh, yeah, for someone else's story
Oh, yeah
I'm tired of falling
Oh, yeah, for someone else's story
I won't need one book to read
Or one movie to see
'Cause I have the one
But before that I need to write
My own personal verison of love
