Well it was one of those great stories
That you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
And he wasn't afraid to fightThe villain goes to jail
While the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for meAnd the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew, he just knewShadows and shape mixed together at dawn
But by time you catch them simplicity's gone
And so we sort through the pieces my friends and I
Searching through the darkness to find the breaks in the skyAnd the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew, he just knewAnd we wonder, yes we wonder
How do you make sense of this
When the hero kills the maiden
With his kiss, with his kissWell it was one of those great stories
That you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
And he wasn't afraid to fightThe villain goes to jail
While the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me
If it were that simple for me
