Happy Ever After lyrics

[Backing Vocals:]

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

[Verse 1:]

Shake my bones and rattle my grave

He's gone diggin' in the bitch again

Back tattoo of a big black snake

Don't go telling me she's just a friend

[Pre-Chorus:]

Hey, lil' mama

Who you gonna poison now

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Hey, lil' papa

Who you gonna run to now

[Chorus:]

It's been a long time coming

And this house is burning down

Don't know how I ever loved you

I was blind and running into what's in front of me

If I only knew

That happy ever after wasn't you

[Backing Vocals:]

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

[Verse 2:]

Hurt me, hate me, throw me down

Fifteen years I gave you me

To lie alone in this redneck town

A better lover did I have to be

[Pre-Chorus:]

And hey, lil' mama

What you gonna break up now

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

And hey, lil' papa

Who you gonna run to now

[Chorus:]

It's been a long time coming

And this house is burning down

Don't know how I ever loved you

I was blind and running into what's in front of me

And I never knew

That happy ever after wasn't you

[Chorus:]

It's been a long time coming

And this house is burning down

Don't know how I ever loved you

I was blind and running into what's in front of me

If I only knew

That happy ever after wasn't you

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Happy ever after wasn't you

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Happy ever after wasn't you

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Happy ever after wasn't you
