⸻

You said, “Keep hoping, stars don’t lie”

But I’ve watched a million fade from my sky

People leave like whispered lines—

And no one rewrites the ending in time

So I smile, yeah, I fake it right

Hold my breath through the quiet nights

‘Cause love is sweet ’til it decays

And I’ve learned it always slips away

⸻

Don’t tell me it gets better now

I’ve seen hearts break on wedding vows

But I still write the words, still sing it soft—

For someone who won’t turn it off

⸻

I don’t believe in happy endings

But I believe in holding tight

In crooked smiles and soft beginnings

That shimmer once, then say goodnight

I don’t believe in perfect stories

But I still trace them in my mind

Even if they fall apart

They meant something for a time

⸻

I pinned the song where hearts could find

A piece of me I left behind

And someone kind said I should dream

But darling, dreams can cut real deep

I don’t need castles, crowns, or rings

Just someone who won’t ghost my strings

It’s not the ending that I fear—

It’s waking up and no one’s here

⸻

Don’t promise “forever” with your breath

If you’ll vanish like the rest

But I’ll still sing, yeah I’ll still try—

Even if love just waves goodbye

⸻

I don’t believe in happy endings

But I believe in lullabies

In half-drunk laughs and sleepy texts

And songs that don’t explain the why

I don’t believe in riding sunsets

But I’ll hold you through the rain

Even if you walk away

I’m glad you came

⸻

So write my name, forget it slow

Fold the page and let it go

This isn’t pain—it’s just the price

Of living once, of loving twice

And if I meant a line or two

In someone’s life, then that’ll do

No fairy tale, no curtain close—

Just a heart that sings and knows

⸻

I don’t believe in happy endings

But I believe in honest starts

In holding hands with shaking fingers

And leaving ink on fragile hearts

I don’t believe in perfect answers

But I’ll keep asking anyway

And if this song’s the last we share—

I’m glad you heard it,

I’ll be okay.

I’ll be okaaaaaay

I’ll be okay

Ooooooh-yeah
