Life isn't always easy
Choices aren't always right
Somtimes you will wonder
What keeps you up at night
Laughter can hide sadness
But it won't block the pain
Smiles can cover the tear drops
But they won't stop the rain

You strung me along
And played with my heart
Pulled at my strings
Til I fell apart
Smiled to your self
And thought "Damn, I'm sly"
Left my pieces scattered
And alone to cry

I always dream of a happy ending
where wishes do come true
to fall asleep in the arms of the one
who says I love you
I just can't wait for the day
For my prince to set me free
Whisk me off to a fairy tale ending
That's just how it's meant to be

I could tear up all of your pictures
and burn all of your gifts
I could convince everyone else around me
That you no longer exist
But my heart will know the truth
It will look past my lies
And know that I still want you
But God only will know why

I'm ready to try again
To open up my heart
To let somebody else in
who won't tear it apart
I'm ready to start anew
And know that it just might
Not turn out to be forever
I'll know I'll be alright

I know that we did our best
We both put in the time
We made each other believe
I was yours and you were mine
But charades don't last forever
The game eventually ends
And so we must say good bye
No longer lovers or even friends
