Straight out of some story
You walk in in all your glory
I thought you were perfect for me.
I was out of my mind.
Looked like I was winning,
It was the best love I'd ever been in.
Just when we were beginning, The End, you left me behind.
And I was looking forward to a happy ending,
So much for pretending.
I should have known better,
Than to think of happy-ever-after,
You and me together,
I was out of my league.
I kept my heart hidden,
Now I'm wishin' that I didn't.
Oh, who am I kidding?
You weren't even intrigued.
And I was looking forward to a happy ending,
So much for pretending.
It could've been beautiful,
If I'd only met ya,
If I'd only let you know
What you meant to me.
And if I could, I would,
Give you a demonstration
Of how my imagination
Thought it ought to be.
So much for pretending.
