I spent all day watching a reality show
So I could walk away from the tragedy that is my own
They had dolled-up faces, looked pretty amazing, driving up the streets of LA
While I was stuck here in a London full of rain
I turned the TV off put my favorite dress on
Danced in the living room to some Taylor Swift song
In a poor attempt to make myself forget where you'll rest your head tonight
Oh oh
This is how the story goes
Oh oh
I should have known it from her first hello
With her beach blond hair and musical laugh, you found your treasure at last
Oh oh
I should have known how the story goes
Oh oh
The oldest story of love ever told
I spent the next day reading a book about luck
'Cause I just couldn't face looking at my phone knowing how
You'd be holding her, showing the world how you found the perfect girl
While I was stuck here, in a cold apartment in town
I Put the book down, put my favorite dress on
Danced in the living room to some Taylor Swift song
In a poor attempt to make myself forget where you'll rest your head tonight
Oh oh
This is how the story goes
Oh oh
I should have known it from her first hello
With her beach blond hair and musical laugh, you found your treasure at last
Oh oh
I should have known how the story goes
Oh oh
The oldest story of love ever told
I shut the world off put my favorite dress on
Danced in the living room to some Taylor Swift song
In a poor attempt to make myself forget where you'll rest your head tonight
I turned the music up and sang all the words loud
Shame that line goes: we never go out of style
I guess I should accept you won't be here when I put my head to rest tonight
Oh oh
This is how the story goes
Oh oh
I should have known it from her first hello
With her beach blond hair and musical laugh, you found your treasure at last
Oh oh
I should have known how the story goes
Oh oh
The oldest story of love ever told
