[Verse 1]
I can remember stories
Those things my mother said
She told me fairytales before I went to bed
She spoke of happy endings
Then tucked me in real tight
She turned my nightlight on
And kissed my face goodnight
My mind would fill with visions of perfect paradise
She told me everything
She said he'd be so nice
He'd ride up on his horse and take me away one night
I'd be so happy with him
We'd ride clean out of sight
She never said that we would
Curse, cry and scream and lie
She never said that maybe
Someday he'd say goodbye
[Chorus]
The story ends as stories do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in paradise of fairytales
Uh
No, uh, huh
Mmm, mmm
