lyrics

What I see when I look into your eyes
A question that I asked so long ago
I see the answer now 20 years gone by
It’s an answer I don’t want to know

Is this the way life is for everybody else?
A bag of broken mirror and some glue
I’m struggling to put it all together
While pretending that I always knew

This is not what I was promised
This is not how it should be
This is not the life I signed up for
This is not ever after happily
Not ever after happily

What do I do with the lies I was told?
How can I kill them and be done?
How do I start from a place so cold,
To change us two back into one?

Where is that fairy tale ending?
Where is the warm and setting sun?
When will we finally stop pretending
And get down to what must be done?
