[Verse 1]
This story's missing a wishing well
No mirror to show and tell
No kiss that can break the spell
I'm falling asleep
Every prince is a fantasy
The witch is inside of me
Her poison will wash away your memory

[Chorus]
We kill the lights and put on a show
It's all a lie, but you'd never know
The star will shine, and then it will fall
And you will forget it all

[Verse 2]
And after midnight we're all the same
No glass shoe to bring us fame
Nobody to take the blame
We're falling apart
Every story's a waiting game
A flower for every name
Their colours are paling in the falling rain

[Chorus]
We kill the lights and put on a show
It's all a lie, but you'd never know
The star will shine, and then it will fall
And you will forget it all
[Bridge]
Now you know, it's so much better to pretend
There's something waiting for you here
Every letter that you wrote has found its way to me, my dear
You can make believe that what you say is what I want to hear
I'll keep dancing through this beautiful delusional career

[Outro]
Faking every tear
Looking like a compromised suicide
Keeping all my dreams alive
