I can remember stories, those things my mother said She told me fairy tales, before I went to bed She spoke of happy endings, then tucked me in real tight She turned my night light on, and kissed my face good night My mind would fill with visions, of perfect paradise She told me everything, she said he'd be so nice He'd ride up on his horse and, take me away one night I'd be so happy with him, we'd ride clean out of sight She never said that we would, curse, cry and scream and lie She never said that maybe, someday he'd say goodbye
The story ends, as stories do Reality steps into view No longer living life in paradise - of fairy tales - uh No, uh - huh - mmm - mmm
She spoke about happy endings, of stories not like this She said he'd slay all dragons, defeat the evil prince She said he'd come to save me, swim through the stormy seas I'd understand the story, it would be good for me You never came to save me, you let me stand alone Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold
My story end, as stories do Reality steps into view No longer living life in paradise - no fairy tales - yes
I don't look for pie up in the sky, baby Need reality, now, said I Don't feel the need to be pacified, don't cha try Honey, I know you lied
You never came to save me, you let me stand alone Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold I found no magic postion, no horse with wings to fly I found the poison apple, my destiny to die No royal kiss could save me, no magic spell to spin My fantasy is over, my life must now begin
My story end, as stories do Reality steps into view No longer living life in paradise - no fairy tales - eh, Hey, hey - eee - mmm, mmm
