I used to believe in heaven with my love

Golden arches, dancing angels

A merciful fate set for more than the white doves

And if I stayed faithful, I'd always be stable

And I used to believe that true love's kiss

Brought back heroes from the dead, 

And a fairy godmother's touch led

You to your dreams.

Pumpkins into carriages and rags into

Glittering gowns of starlight

Knights in shining armour, 

Swords silver and full of might. 

It isn't true. It isn't true. 

I wish you knew, 

It isn't true

Because the world's too complicated 

For the villains to join us above

And the colours are too bright and infatuated

For the soulmates to find love

It isn't true. It isn't true. 

I wish you knew, 

It isn't true

So help me, so help me

Am I free? Free 

Like birds that race across the sky

Even though one day they'll all die

But it can't just stand too good to be true

Paying all your matters that're due

Feel the wind whip across your hair, 

Maybe a little worse for wear

Because we all aren't a sleeping princess

Or a beautiful damsel in distress
