Happily Never After

Am I just supposed to forget Or act as if I were only dreaming That I somehow managed to imagine This love that I'm feeling Can you explain how it happened Tell me every small detail Do you want me to believe It was all some fairy tale The "once upon a time" girl Has grown up quite a bit these days And our "happily ever after" Feels like we've parted ways I know that I'm no princess Except when you hold me near Chasing away all my nightmares My Prince, the monsters fear Coming in to save the day All with true love's kiss But now you've gone far away And I feel something's amiss Cuz when we met With love's first sight And gave in to magic's destiny Knowing every step felt right Has my curse been lifted Setting me free from despair Has the spell been broken Returning Glass Slippers to air The Wicked World has enslaved us Banishing all beauty and light Yet the sweet, brief dance under glow of the moon Will no doubt haunt my every long night If that be the dream, please I beg let me sleep For the nightmare upon waking, I weep I'd rather live the fantasy dream With your love as my cover Than walk the reality of darkness Without you forever
