Hollywood Lyrics

It was beauty that killed the beast

Oh I ain't nobody's prince charming

I sure as hell ain't no knight

More like Heston wandering through Negev in search of something I'd never find

I wrote us a happy ending, my fairy tales are just a lie

And you were already gone with the wind

But my love for you was just too blind

No, Hollywood got it wrong

There ain't no love in these songs I still sing or the light that I leave on for you

You're not coming home, and God I should have known

I waved goodbye to the best years of my life waiting on us

And I tried to be strong, though the day would never come

You rode into the sunset with a love story all your own

A stone femme fatale when I met you, the writing was on the wall

But you were that itch I just needed to scratch and you make it so easy to fall

I feel just like Sunset Boulevard, do you remember at all?

It was years ago now, I'm still waiting on you

When will you take your curtain call?

No, Hollywood got it wrong

There ain't no love in these songs I still sing or the light that I leave on for you

You're not coming home and God I should have known

I waved goodbye to the best years of my life waiting on us

And I tried to be strong, though the day would never come

You rode into the sunset with a love story all your own

Oh here's looking at you, looking at him, while I fell to pieces so quietly

You were my everything, everything, everything, you were my queen

Oh here's looking at you, looking at me, feeding me all the lies I would believe

Oh more fool me, you belong on the silver screen
