The idea that twenty-four

Meant a white dress on the floor

Too much champagne, and a plane to Mexico

Your idea was dinner made

TV on, the kids are bathed

I'd still be fun like twenty-one

but that ain't ever how it goes

What you see and what you get

Ain't what you saw the day we met

But you never thought forever meant regret

You don't love me, let's be honest

I ain't the woman that you wanted

If it wasn't for a promise, you'd be gone

She's a dream that you created

She's the picture that you painted

But no matter how you hang it, it's still wrong

Ain't right for us to try to live this life

When we know it ain't real

You don't love me, you just love the idea

Ain't an option not to make it

If we're unhappy, we can fake it

If it hurts, you go to work

We go to church, we never tell

That it's gone to hell

You don't love me, let's be honest

I ain't the woman that you wanted

If it wasn't for a promise, you'd be gone

She's a dream that you created

She's the picture that you painted

But no matter how you hang it, it's still wrong

Ain't right for us to try to live this life

When we know it ain't real

You don't love me, you just love

The idea of picket fences

Be the envy of friends

And do the things that all the perfect families do

'Cause you can't bear the thought of splitting things in two

You don't love me, let's be honest

I ain't the woman that you wanted

If it wasn't for a promise, you'd be gone, long gone

She's a dream that you created

She's the picture that you painted

It don't matter if I hate it, it's still wrong

Ain't right for us to try to live this life

When we know it ain't real

You don't love me, you just love the

You don't want me, you just want the idea

Cut!

Alright
