Bittersweet Lyrics

You drowned yourself in storybooks

With all their pretty lies

A simple happy ending every time

You never gave a second look

To those who didn't match the type

And let so many moments pass you by

But life is not a storybook

And nothing is a dream

Reality is messy as it seems

The perfect fights against the good

And you're caught in between

In another trite and overwritten scene

There's no Prince Charming here to rescue you today

No fairy tale ending, but maybe that's okay

That happy ever after may be somewhere out of reach

Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet

Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet

What happens to the prince and princess

When they find the slipper fits

Or twenty minutes after true love's kiss

The magic spun by fairy tales

Dissipates when midnight strikes

And gives way to an ordinary life

There's no Prince Charming here to rescue you today

No fairy tale ending, but maybe that's okay

That happy ever after may be somewhere out of reach

Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet

Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet

There's no Prince Charming here to rescue you today

No fairy tale ending, but maybe that's okay

That happy ever after may be somewhere out of reach

Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet

Sometimes the perfect ending is a little bittersweet

Sometimes the perfect ending's bittersweet
