No Fairy Tale Love
Love is strange
Oh so strange
One day strong
And then dead
Oh so dead
Left alone
Oh so alone
So you say
I’ll never love again
Can’t say I blame you
My old friend
For the same thing
Happened to me
And my tears
Still know no end
Just like me
You’ll never be the same
A reminder of
Love’s cruel game
So drink up
And hear my tale
Of a love so strong
And now so gone
Why does it hurt
To love
Why must it
Be so
Why can’t love
Be simple
Why can’t love
Be true
Why can’t love
Be forever
Why can’t love
Hold through
To love is to hurt
Love is pain
Why is it so
Why is it true
Love is not simple
Love is not free
Not like the fairy tales
For you or for me
