I can remember stories
Those things my moter 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 light right off
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 upon his horse
And take me away one night
I'd be so happy with him
We'd ride ?til out of sight
She never said that we would
Curse cry and scream and lie
She never said that maybe
Someday he'd say goodby
This story ends
This story's through
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in Paradise
All Fairytales
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 starry seas
I'd understand the story
He would be good to me
You never came to save me
You let me stand around
Out in the wilderness
Out in the cold
My story ends
Like story's do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in Paradise
No Fairytales
I don't look up high
Up in the sky baby
Need reality now
See I don't feel the need
To be pacified
Don't you try
Honey I know you lied
You never came to save me
You let me stand alone
Out in the wilderness
Alonet in the cold
I found no magic potion
No horse with wings to fly
I found the poison apple
My destiny to die
No royal could save me
No magic spell to spin
My fantasy is over
My life must now begin
REPEAT CHORUS
