There is no princess in the tower There's no knight in shining armour If you kiss the frog he won't become a prince There are no dragons guarding castles There's no princess to be rescued There's no evil queen waiting to thwart your plans And you see love is just a fairy tale that never comes true I'm afraid reality is rather grim There will be no happy ending When the book comes to an end Just disappointment, emptiness and sore regret There are no wicked witches casting spells to transform you into something else There is no ogre underneath the bridge There are no wizards brewing potions inside oversized black cauldrons There are no goblins, pixies, elves or trolls And you see love is just a fairy tale that never comes true I'm afraid reality is rather grim There will be no happy ending When the book comes to an end Just disappointment, sore regret and loneliness
