This is the end you know Lady, the plans we had went all wrong We ain′t nothing but fight and shout and tears
We got to a point I can′t stand I′ve had it to the limit; I can′t be your man I ain′t more than a minute away from walking
We can′t cry the pain away We can′t find a need to stay I slowly realized there′s nothing on our side
Out of my life, Out of my mind Out of the tears that we can′t deny We need to swallow all our pride And leave this mess behind Out of my head, Out of my bed Out of the dreams we had, they′re bad Tell them it′s me who made you sad Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Another night and I bleed They all make mistakes and so did we But we did something we can never turn back right
Find a new one to fool Leave and don′t look back. I won′t follow We have nothing left. It′s the end of our time
We can′t cry the pain away We can′t find a need to stay There′s no more rabbits in my hat to make things right
Out of my life, Out of my mind Out of the tears we can′t deny We need to swallow all our pride And leave this mess behind Out of my head, Out of my bed Out of the dreams we had, they′re bad Tell them it′s me who made you sad Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Out of my life, Out of my mind Out of the tears we can′t deny We need to swallow all our pride And leave this mess behind Out of my head, Out of my bed Out of the dreams we had, they′re bad Tell them it′s me who made you sad Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad Tell them the fairytale gone bad
The Dustland Fairytale beginning With just another white trash county kiss in ′61. Long brown hair, and foolish eyes. He′d look just like you′d want him to Some kind of slick chrome American prince.
Blue Jean serenade Moon river what you do to me. I don′t believe you.
Saw Cinderella in a party dress, she was looking for a nightgown. I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he′s getting ready for the showdown. I saw the minute that I turned away, I got my money on a pawn tonight.
Change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire. She said she always knew he′d come around. And the decades disappear Like sinking ships but we persevere. God gives us hope but we still fear, we don′t know.
Your mind is poisoned. Castles in the sky, sit stranded, vandalized. The drawbridge is closing.
Saw Cinderella in a party dress, she was looking for a nightgown. I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he′s getting ready for the showdown. I saw the ending where they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away. Sent to the valley of the great divide Out where the dreams all hide. Out where the wind don′t blow, Out where the good girls die. And the sky moves slow I hear the bird don′t sing I hear the field don′t blow I hear the bell don′t ring I hear the bell don′t ring Out here the good girls die Now Cinderella don′t you go to sleep, it′s such a bitter form of refuge. Why don′t you know the kingdoms under siege and everyone needs you Is there still magic in the midnight sun, or did you leave it back in ′61? In the cadence of a young man′s eyes. Out where the dreams all hide
Get a load of this. She said I turned to a prince after just one kiss. While she was with somebody else this was all a trick. Grew up and realized that happiness is a lie. Just wish that I could rewind and face reality, yeah.
Once upon a time I had a reason. To wake every day, continue breathing. Till she threw our love away. Cause I discovered one enchanting evenin′. This stupid beauty all along was cheating. That′s when I knew that love was fake, oh!
I don′t believe in happy endings I don′t belive in fairytales I don′t believe I should go on pretending. I don′t believe in fairytales
That′s how the story ends. I run away from the myth ′fore another begins. When does the good guy win? She was the sexiest of evil. The perfect sin, yeah. Grew up and realized that happiness is a lie. Just wish that I could rewind and face reality, yeah.
