About: 'Happily Ever After' reflects a realistic perspective on happiness, contrasting with traditional fairy-tale endings. It reflects the boys’ realization that a fulfilling life requires effort and resilience rather than magical solutions. By embracing the unpredictability of life and finding beauty in creating their own narrative, the song encourages listeners to greet each new day with optimism and see the value in their open-ended tales.

LYRICS (translations by @translatingTXT)
Oh my God
Ooh
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha
Listen
Oh, my God
The ending is unpredictable
Life is not a fairy tale
So what if I don't know?
I actually like it this way
La la la la la la
Love all my days
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la la la
I thought I was the main character
In a wonderful fairytale
After a brief hardship victory would eventually come
And it'd be happily ever after, after that
But I was stupid for thinking that way
In reality, there is no right answer
These countless choices are mine to make
What's happening to me? Where's the 'happy ending'?
Wow, even after I close the fairy tale book
Life keeps going on
Realized there's no 'happily ever after' forever
Oh, my God
The ending is unpredictable
Life is not a fairy tale
So what if I don't know?
I actually like it this way
La la la la la la
Love all my days
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
Every morning, to the new sun
"Good morning"
Is the pleasant phrase that comes to mind
On top of the empty space
I'm going to write my own story
I will create it all
Wow, this unknown ending
That's why my life is even more beautiful
I'll embrace even my failures
I keep going yeah
Oh, my God
The ending is unpredictable
Life is not a fairy tale
So what if I don't know?
I actually like it this way
La la la la la la
Love all my days
All my life
This endless tale
Three-six-five, every day (Every day, oh)
The open ending that I’m writing
La la la la la la, love all my days
La la la la la la
Love all my days
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la la laLa la la
La la la
La la la la la la
Love all my days
