Mmm-hmm-mmm
I can remember stories
those things
my mother said
She told me fairytales
before I went to bed
She spoke
of happy endings
then tucked me
in real tight
She turned
my nightlight on
and kissed
my face goodnight
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 fairytales
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 ends
as stories do
Reality steps
into view
No longer living life
in paradise
no fairytales 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 you 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 potion
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 ends
as stories do
Reality steps
into view
No longer living life
in paradise
no fairytales
Eh hey hey-eee
Mmm-mmm
