Fairy Tales

In your mind
you have this romantic image
of how everything should be

When I fail to live up to these
preconceived notions
Then inevitably
all the blame is placed on me

I want to be there for you
I want to be good to you

But... there are no knights in shinning armor
and all damsels are in distress

There's no clearing on the horizon
And no life vest on your chest
There's ain't no silver lining
and there aren't any pots of gold

There are no happy endings
It's only lies that we've been sold

But there's still a chance…
For warmth and comfort
And some sanity through this mess

If we could only realize
It's us
Only us...
all alone together

And forget about the rest
