Happy Ever After Lyrics by Knox, explores a troubled relationship where both people constantly argue and feel disconnected, despite trying to maintain appearances. It questions whether lasting happiness is even possible between them, highlighting emotional exhaustion, denial, and the realization that they may be better off apart. The repeated questioning of “Are we ever happy ever after?” reflects doubt, heartbreak, and the fading hope for a fairy-tale ending.

Happy Ever After Lyrics
[Intro]
Are we ever happy ever after?
All we do is get mad at each other
And all we are is too good for the other
And all we want is right now and not forever
Are we ever happy ever after all?
[Verse 1]
Do you tell your mom
“I swear everything’s still perfect”?
Do your friends believe
“My God, they’re both so meant to be”?
Or can everybody see there’s no faking how we feel?
I guess fantasies and fairytales ain’t real
[Chorus]
Are we ever happy ever after?
All we do is get mad at each other
And all we are is too good for the other
And all we want is right now and not forever
Are we ever happy ever after all?
When you’re not right and I’m always wrong
When it’s out of our hands, but all our fault
Oh, we both know that we’re better off
So are we ever happy ever after all?
Are we ever happy ever after all?
So are we ever happy ever after all?
[Verse 2]
We say it’s all alright
But we both know it’s all wrong
It’s keeps us up at night
But we just keep on keeping on, oh
When it’s always “what’s the matter?”
When there’s more tears than laughter
When is it time to ask ourselves?
[Chorus]
Are we ever happy ever after?
All we do is get mad at each other
And all we are is too good for the other
And all we want is right now and not forever
Are we ever happy ever after all?
When you’re not right and I’m always wrong
When it’s out of our hands, but all our fault
Oh, we both know that we’re better off
So are we ever happy ever after all?
[Bridge]
Are we ever, are we ever, are we ever happy ever after all?
Are we ever, are we ever, are we ever happy ever after all?
Are we ever, are we ever, are we ever happy ever after all?
Are we ever, are we ever
[Chorus]
Are we ever happy ever after?
All we do is get mad at each other
And all we are is too good for the other
And all we want is right now and not forever
Are we ever happy ever after all?
When you’re not right and I’m always wrong
When it’s out of our hands, but all our fault
Oh, we both know that we’re better off
So are we ever happy ever after all?
[Outro]
Are we ever, are we ever, are we ever happy ever after all?
Are we ever, are we ever, so are we ever happy ever after all?
