You stand alone waiting for someone
Heart in your arms and tear in your eyes
Fairytales taught you that he's the one
But the sun is up and sky is clearing of the lies

I too sing with a broken heart
So let me show you that you're not alone
We walk upon the same road
With the touch of love in our every bone

You can bury it all with just a smile and deny
But I can see it hidden deep inside your eyes
The time is up and everyone's gone with sunrise
And I know somewhere inside you've realised


That he is never coming to get you
Oh baby, will you still carry that heart of stone
He was never the one meant for you
Oh baby, I know you feel more than just alone





Childhood dreams and the plastic ring
Oh those were the times when we were in a fairytale
Now just let this broken old heart sing
I know the magic in the air is gone now that you're awake




I know your folks never did accept
For you to be involved with a married man
But they never knew you were in love
And you never tried to make them understand

You wanted to be his lady in white
And he always told you to wait for him some more
You waited for him all these years
And one day he told you he didn't love you anymore


As you walk upon the broken glass
It still hurts you more in that bleeding heart
You think you can still walk away
But baby you will never ever reach that far

Oh, tell me more about this pretty love
All i've known is somebody always gets hurt
For some a blessing, for some a curse
And I can hear this echo around the world




Childhood dreams and the plastic ring
Oh, those were the times when we were in a fairytale
Now just let this broken old heart sing
I know the magic in the air is gone now that you're awake




Oh tell me, now you tell my pain  
All you happy folks of the love struck town
Does the shine always remain  
Or in the end everyone has to step down

Does the winds push you back
Whenever you let go of that one loving hand
Do the scars still howl at you
In the hurt of the world where you now stand

I know what they say about this love
It's only beautiful till the dreamy night it lasts  
Even when the sky is cleared of smoke
You keep on believing lies in the depth of your heart

Oh, tell me more about this pretty love
All i've known is somebody always gets hurt
For some a blessing, for some a curse
And I can hear this echo around the world




Childhood dreams and the plastic ring
Oh, those were the times when we were in a fairytale
Now just let this broken old heart sing
I know the magic in the air is gone now that you're awake
