Why Couldn'T We Have a Fairy Tale Ending
Why couldn't we have a fairy tale ending
Who made the sun bring the cold winter chill
Why are kind gesturers an act of pretending
How did our heartbeats become ever still
Where is the joy that we found ourselves sharing
Happiness falling on much darker days
Meadows of flowers now weeds never caring
Blue skies are hidden behind sorrowed haze
Dreams slowly scattered on desolate oceans
Washed up on shore as the sandcastles die
Tossed overboard with the weakest emotions
Salt coated tears the horizon does cry
Once perfect mornings now afternoon weary
Gazing on edges cut sharp by the storm
Forecasts are sent in a poem that’s dreary
Standing afraid as the thunderclouds form
Hiding our eyes behind last April’s fashion
No cotton fabric for sale on the rack
Finding that drab is our lone source of passion
Marked down for clearance way out in the back
When did we give up on promises pending
Taking a place after push comes to shove
Why couldn't we have a fairy tale ending
What ever happened to forever love
