i heard the news from every fool in town
you got somebody new
and i never hurt so bad
the strangest fiction just came true
crowds will gather for a twisted wreck
well
all right stare at me
its just another story of love
thats turned into tragedy
what am i supposed to do
you want a toast from the man who's lost
the man who's doublecrossed
from cover to cover
baby you and me were just book lovers
since you turned away i turned the page on my happiness
once upon a time you were mine
now i must confess
i cant bear to read the rest
it could have been a happy ending girl
goodness knows
i tried
but i see so clearly now
even through these tears ive cried
you wanted love to be a fairly tale
with a sleeping beauty scene
now another prince has come
and kissed you out of all your dreams
