Fairytales Tell Tales Lyrics

Fairytales Tell Tales

lets pretend were not needy
lets pretend our hearts still beat
lets
pretend we fall in love tonight
clumsy enough to fall for anything
well
stumble on our words
well spill our guts on creaking bar stools
below the
neon blue
low lives hiding in dives theres no feeling in drinking sleeping
with strangers
ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware
a faint reflection
on the barbacks mirror
a face i never knew whispering,
please dont be a
stranger to me. who are you if youre alone'
youre no good at
pretending
all my plays have tragic endings
you wish i was a fairy
tale
this frog will never change anything
just pretend that youre in
love
that scolding sun is bound to come up eventually
so who is it that
whispers in your ear
a haunting voice blows in through the window
theres
no feeling floating over beds
a needy pleading apparition
crying 'who am
i if im alone?
i hardly exist at all.
lets pretend that we dont need
anything anymore from anyone.
i dont want to feel anything anymore lets just
pretend'
well live happily ever after
