Story Behind The Song

I had just scene yet another flick that just when you thought was going to end truthfully and honestly, hit me with a big sloppy, totally unlikely happy gooshy ending. YUCK. This is the rebellion of that.

Lyrics

SMALL TOWN GIRL, MET PERFECT GUY
MATCH MADE SO HEAVENLY, ONCE UPON A TIME
THE PICTURE FADES, THEY'RE TORN APART,
EAT THE POPCORN AND BLEED THE HEART
CUT TO: TWO LOVERS, A WHITE HORSE, ONE SETTING SUN

IF IT WERE UP TO ME, I'D REWRITE THE SCENE
IN BLACK AND WHITE AND EVERY COLOR BETWEEN
COS LIFE IS MORE THAN JUST A DREAM
OF A HOLLYWOOD ENDING

FRAGILE GIRL MEETS WRECKLES GUY
SHE MADE HIM ANGRY, SO HE MADE HER CRY
END OF HER ROPE, OUT ON A LIMB
SHE'D RATHER HAVE NO LIFE THAN ONE WITH HIM
OUT OF THE BLUE OUR HERO SAVES THE DAY, YEAH

IF IT WERE UP TO ME, I'D REWRITE THE SCENE
IN BLACK AND WHITE AND EVERY COLOR BETWEEN
COS LIFE IS MORE THAN JUST A DREAM
WITH A HOLLYWOOD ENDING

I'M JUST A GIRL WHO HATES TO CRY
I LIKE HAPPY ENDINGS AS MUCH AS THE NEXT GUY
IF ONLY LIFE WAS SCRIPTED, I'D BE THE STAR

IF IT WERE UP TO ME I'D REWRITE THE SCENE
IN BLACK AND WHITE AND EVERY COLOR BETWEEN
COS LIFE IS MORE THAN JUST A DREAM
OF A HOLLYWOOD ENDING
