Fairy Tales
I don't believe in castles or kings
Or faries or sprites or horses with wings
I don't believe in diamond rings
I have no need for such childish things

I grew too old for make-believe
That's only for the young and naive
I grew out of trying to achieve
Any kind of magical reprieve

I'm a woman now and oh so smart
So I've let my dreams all fall apart
From the fairy tale I did depart
Though I'm still a little girl at heart

But I'll never see a unicorn
Or watch elves dance to the horn
I'll never see a dragon born
Or watch the mermaids in the morn

I gave up hope on finding my prince
And experiencing True Love's first kiss
I gave up hope on trying to convince
Myself of a man that doesn't exist

So to my hero I bid adieu
I'm sorry, but you've missed your cue
I must learn to live without you
For not all wishes do come true

Alt Ending:

So to my hero I had bid adieu
He was never coming, this I knew
Not all wishes do come true
Yet here I am in love with you
