Breakups growing up were always strange
I held out hope, thinking he would change
And he'd be outside my window with flowers
I'd wait for him a thousand hours
Rom-coms taught me everything
Like there's always gonna be a happy ending
And if there's not, tough shit, you did it wrong
You had your chance and now it's gone

Ooh, I used to stay up, counting sheep about it
And that I'd know it's perfect when I found it
That kinda love they sell in 90 minutes
The older that I get, I'm glad I'm not in it

'Cause I love the mess we're in, my fucked up prince
It's time to let go of all the unrealistic fantasies
You make it seem like we don't need the silver screen, yeah
I love the mess we're in, my fucked up prince

We were never king and queen of the prom
But our chemistry is written on the walls, yeah
You don't need popularity
Don't sweat, you get the best of me

Ooh, could tell you ten things that I love about you
But that just wouldn't cover everything
And all those movies, they got nothing on us
Might not be perfect but I wouldn't cut a single scene

I love the mess we're in, my fucked up prince
It's time to let go of all the unrealistic fantasies
You make it seem like we don't need the silver screen, yeah
I love the mess we're in, my fucked up prince

Rom-coms don't know everything
Wish I'd known that at seventeen

'Cause I love the mess we're in, my fucked up prince
It's time to let go of all the unrealistic fantasies
You make it seem like we don't need the silver screen, yeah
I love the mess we're in, my fucked up prince
