Fairy Tales (Edited Version)

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 goodnight

My mind was filled 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 good bye

The story ends as stories do

Reality steps into view

No longer living life in paradise of fairy tales oh

She spoke of happy endings of stories not like this

She said he'd slay all dragons defeat the evil prince

She said you'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 like stories do

Reality steps into view

No longer living life in paradise of no fairy tales

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 you try honey I know you lie

You never came to save me you let me stand alone

Out in this wilderness alone in the cold

I found no magic potion no horse with wings to fly

I found that poison apple my destiny to die

No way our kiss could save me no magic spell to spin

My fantasty is over my life must now begin

My story ends as stories do

Reality steps into view

No longer living life in paradise of no fairy tales

Hey, hey, hey
