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
