He says “There's gotta be more to this story”
She says “No, this our happy end”
Once upon a melancholic time they find that
love is a game of give & take

This is what they call a fairy tale, a story about a girl
This is when she wakes up to the sound, the beating of her heart
This is why she puts her makeup on when he calls one Sunday night
This is where she falls in love with him, the boy who lives next door

It's not the car that he drives or his money
and she couldn't give a damn about the tattoos on the arm he wraps
around
But if only every once in while he'd take a second to hit
the reply button
life would be easier

He says “There's gotta be more to this story”
She says “No, this our happy end”
Once upon a melancholic time they find that
love is a game of give & take

He says “Where did I go wrong in this story”
She says “Take a good look around, and you'd see”
Once upon a melancholic time they find that
life is game of love & hate

When tomorrow comes it'll be the same
the same old game, rewind and replay
another smile
another mistake again
turning a new page today

Ever since you came into my dream
I want you to know you changed my life
I won't say I love you
'cause

He says “There's gotta be more to this story”
She says “No, this our happy end”
Once upon a melancholic time they find that
love is a game of give & take

He says “Where did I go wrong in this story”
She says “Take a good look around, and you'd see”
Once upon a melancholic time they find that
life is game of love & hate
