Rushing out from the altar, barely twenty-two
we were running through the sparklers right past our youth
No one could've told us we weren't Ingrid and Humphrey
In love in Casablanca in a perfect scene

now Hollywood ain't here facing all these fears
That you won't come back this time
you want a better heart than mine
Hollywood'll say go on and walk away
That it ain't worth all these tears
But Hollywood ain't here

I left a sweet magnolia sitting out on the porch
And I practice my apology same as the day before
Cause it ain't like the movies, thank God not magazines
I'm just an ordinary woman who knows what she needs

Oh Hollywood ain't here facing all these fears
That you won't come back this time
you want a better heart than mine
Hollywood'll say go on and walk away
That it ain't worth all these tears
But Hollywood ain't

here to make it right In the fury of a quiet night
I know you know what I'm still fighting for
It ain't here making believe with some doctored up reality
But I'm here, and you should be walking through the door

Hollywood ain't here facing all these fears
Baby come on back this time, you won't find a love like mine
Hollywood'll say go on and walk away
That it ain't worth a single tear
I know our love is bigger than my fears
the only way we'll make it through the years
is if Hollywood ain't here
