So Long

They never tell you it could be like this
They usually fill your head with fairy tales
The prince and princess meet and then they kiss
And then they live so happy on and on

(Chorus)
I’ve taken it for too long
I’ve taken so much from you
I’ve taken it for too long
I’m through

They only tell you things they want to hear
They make-believe in hopes it can come true
And if it does they say I told you so
But when it doesn’t – Do they say, say when?

(Chorus)
Happy ever after
For so long
Happy ever after

When it started it all seemed so right
We were special, not like everyone
When it ended no one ever knows
When it’s over are we ever free?

I’ve taken it for too long
I’ve taken so much from you
I’ve taken it for too long
I’m through
