This story's missing a wishing well
No mirror to show and tell
No kiss that can break the spell
I'm falling asleepEvery prince is a fantasy
The witch is inside of me
Her poison will wash away
The memoryWe kill the lights and put on a show
It's all a lie but you'd never know
Your star will shine and then it will fall
And you will forget it allAnd after midnight we're all the same
No glass shoe to bring us fame
Nobody to take the blame
We're falling apartEvery story's a waiting game
A flower for every name
Their colors are paling
In the falling rainWe kill the lights and put on a show
It's all a lie but you'd never know
Your star will shine and then it will fall
And you will forget it allNow you know it's so much better to pretend
There's something waiting for you here
Every letter that you wrote
Has found its way to me, my dearYou can make believe that
What you say is what I want to hear
I'll keep dancing through this beautiful
Delusional careerFaking every tear
Looking like a compromised suicide
Keeping all my dreams alive
