Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was one of those great stories
That you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
And he wasn't afraid to fight
[Verse 2]
The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me
[Verse 3]
And the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew, he just knew
[Verse 4]
Shadow and shape mix together at dawn
But by the time you catch them, simplicity's gone
So we sort through the pieces, my friends and I
Searching through the darkness to find the breaks in the sky
[Verse 5]
And the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew, he just knew
[Verse 6]
And we wonder, yes, we wonder
How do you make sense of this?
When the hero kills the maiden with his kiss
With his kiss
[Verse 7]
Well, it was one of those great stories
That you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
And he wasn't afraid to fight
[Verse 8]
The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me
Were that simple for me
