Dave McPherson This Is No Fairytale lyrics

The words got in the way of the actions.
The truth got distorted by distractions.
What can we learn from this?
How to grow new skin.
Take it all on the chin, pull it out from within.

Cut me out, embrace doubt.
It's hard to be just a memory.
It hurts to be discarded.
I wish that I'd been stronger, all or nothing, but I disregarded what was right for you & me.
This is no fairytale.

I know this is hard for you too & I'm not the protagonist of this song.

I don't feel sorry for myself, I know what I've done wrong.
I know that this will all heal, I know we can be strong.
But I think I know why we didn't let go for so long.

This is no fairytale, there is no happy ending.
The prince is a pauper, there's no point in pretending.
If I see you again I don't know what I'll say to you.
I'm sure we'll both be doing fine, I'm sure it'll heal in time.

This is no fairytale, there is no happy ending.
