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
The villain goes to jail
While the hero goes free
I wish it were
that simple for me
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
Shadows and shape
mixed together at dawn
By the time you catch them
simplicity's gone
And so we sort
through the pieces
My friends and I
Searchin' through
the darkness to find
the breaks in the sky
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
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
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
The villain goes to jail
while the hero goes free
I wish it were
that simple for me
Were that simple for me
