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, oh 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 paper-cuts 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, oh 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'll have the one But before that I need to write My own personal version of love My own personal version of love My own personal version of love My own personal version of love My own personal version of love
