Cursive - Fairytales Tell Tales lyrics
[Cursive - Fairytales Tell Tales lyrics]
Let's pretend our hearts still beat
Let's pretend we fall in love tonight
Clumsy enough to fall for anything
We'll stumble on our words
We'll spill our guts on creaking bar stools
Below the neon blue
Low lives hiding in dives
There's no feeling in drinking
Sleeping with strangers
Ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware
A faint reflection on the barback's mirror
A face I never knew whispering
Please don't be a stranger to me
Who are you if you're alone?
You're no good at pretending
All my plays have tragic endings
You wish I was a fairy tale
This frog will never change anything
Just pretend that you're in love
That scolding sun is bound
To come up eventually
So who is it that whispers in your ear?
A haunting voice blows in through the window
There's no feeling floating over beds
A needy pleading apparition
Crying, "Who am I if I am alone?
I hardly exist at all"
Let's pretend that we don't need
Anything anymore from anyone
I don't want to feel anything anymore
Let's just pretend
We'll live happily ever after
