Bittersweet
You drowned yourself in storybooks
With all their pretty lies
A simple happy ending every time
You never gave a second look
To those who didn't match the type
And let so many moments pass you by
But life is not a storybook
And nothing is a dream
Reality is messy as it seems
The perfect fights against the good
And you're caught in between
In another trite and overwritten scene
There's no Prince Charming here to rescue you today
No fairy tale ending, but maybe that's okay
That happy ever after may be somewhere out of reach
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
What happens to the prince and princess
When they find the slipper fits
Or twenty minutes after true love's kiss
The magic spun by fairy tales
Dissipates when midnight strikes
And gives way to an ordinary life
There's no Prince Charming here to rescue you today
No fairy tale ending, but maybe that's okay
That happy ever after may be somewhere out of reach
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
There's no Prince Charming here to rescue you today
No fairy tale ending, but maybe that's okay
That happy ever after may be somewhere out of reach
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
Sometimes the perfect ending's bittersweet
With all their pretty lies
A simple happy ending every time
You never gave a second look
To those who didn't match the type
And let so many moments pass you by
But life is not a storybook
And nothing is a dream
Reality is messy as it seems
The perfect fights against the good
And you're caught in between
In another trite and overwritten scene
There's no Prince Charming here to rescue you today
No fairy tale ending, but maybe that's okay
That happy ever after may be somewhere out of reach
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
What happens to the prince and princess
When they find the slipper fits
Or twenty minutes after true love's kiss
The magic spun by fairy tales
Dissipates when midnight strikes
And gives way to an ordinary life
There's no Prince Charming here to rescue you today
No fairy tale ending, but maybe that's okay
That happy ever after may be somewhere out of reach
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
There's no Prince Charming here to rescue you today
No fairy tale ending, but maybe that's okay
That happy ever after may be somewhere out of reach
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet
Sometimes the perfect ending's bittersweet
