Introduction:
Once upon a time
in the real world, son
there are no happy endings,
there is no fun
The tales that we hear
outnumbering our days and nights
were just to keep our hopes up,
just to give us some light
and the tale goes on
Verse 1:
The hare won the race
it wasn't the turtle
The prince ran away
after another girl
The days that I see
outnumbering the stars
were nothing but a dream
covering the scars
and the tale goes on
Verse 2:
The itsy bitsy spider
never made it to the top
Twinkle twinkle little star
seems to have dropped
out of the sky,
gone from sight
Chorus:
Cause it's you
not me
living happily
and it's me
not you
fallen on my knees
and the tale goes on
Verse 3:
Mirror, mirror on the wall
No one's fair, we all fall
Swing your partner round and round
Ashes, ashes to the ground
The nights that I see
outnumbering the sand
were nothing but a nightmare
lending me a hand
and the tale goes on
Verse 4:
The magic carpet
really couldn't fly
Horton didn't hear a who
he heard a why
am I here?
Nowhere near
where I belong
Chorus:
Cause it's you
not me
living happily
and it's me
not you
fallen on my knees
Bridge:
And the days go by
you with your smile,
mine out of sight
And the nights go by
you're always right
I'm asking why
(am I here,
nowhere near
where I belong)
Chorus:
Cause it's you
not me
living happily
and it's me
not you
fallen on my knees
... and the tale goes on
