Description
Sometimes life is just a fairy tale gone wrong. Everything seems to be going according to plan: you've found your glass slipper, your dress fits perfectly, you even have a prince - but for some reason, he's not the one. Some people cut the story into new chapters, while others remain between the lines, with the hum of the engine and an empty passenger seat. The irony is that happily ever after happens, just without you. But it doesn't sound sad - more like an old movie where you watch the credits and smile because it was still beautiful.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Well, you got the ring, you got the view
Found a glass slipper that fits on you
You cut your hair, you changed your look
Ran outta town and you closed the book
On me and you
And wrote the one you wanted to
Once upon a good time, I thought
I was gonna marry you, drive off
Couple dozen Coke cans tied up
White cab Chevrolet, Cinderella shotgun
What a shame
Ain't me lovin' you on the last page
Good for you, got it all, it seems
You found happy ever after me
Well, I had the role, you flipped the script
And wrecked my story with a plot twist
The you I knew, the you I miss
Wasn't lookin' for a nine-to-five, suit-and-tie prince
But he fits the mold, he's got the charm
Hope he loves you right, and don't break your heart
Once upon a good time, I thought
I was gonna marry you, drive off
Couple dozen Coke cans tied up
White cab Chevrolet, Cinderella shotgun
What a shame
Ain't me lovin' you on the last page
Good for you, got it all, it seems
You found happy ever after me
And lookin' back, maybe I was naive
Thinkin' that you saw what I see
Couple dozen Coke cans tied up
White cab Chevrolet, you runnin' shotgun
Damn, what a shame
Never made it to forever on the last page
Good for you, got it all, it seems
You found happy ever after me
