If I lie in wait for you to kiss these blues away
I'll become weary of the waiting
It might be years while I grow tired and frail and grey
This is not a fairy tale
This is not the same sweet song
This is not happy endings
This is us
If I lie in wait for you to carry me away
Well you cannot even save yourself
It might be years before we find the courage to say
This is not a fairy tale
This is not the same sweet song
This is not happy endings
This is us
I still believe that love can bring forgiveness
For all these things
I still believe that love can bring us healing
This is not a fairy tale
This is not the same sweet song
This is not white horses, picket fences, happy endings
This is us
This is not a fairy tale
This is not the same sweet song
This is not happy endings
This is us
This is not white picket fences
