Once again flipping through the pages of every young girl's dream
Fancy shoes lift her up larger than life it seems
Picturesque in beauty
Perfect in grace
And when the dashing prince came in
Her mind was swept away
All too easily swept away
So pick me up now
For I've gone weak in my knees
And oh what's left when this fairy tale ends
I hate to say but its just you and me my friends
You and me my friends
Caught within the pages
Losing more and more
Of everything that made her beautiful
To the eyes of the world
I pray that there's a cure
Trapped within a body
Designed by someone else
She has her soul tucked away
Safely on the shelf
It holds the remnants of her former self
So pick me up now
For I've gone weak in my knees
And oh what's left when this fairy tale ends
I hate to say but its just you and me my friend
You and me my friend
And this is for all unlike Cinderella's slipper
You're unlike glass, but still so fragile
And I don't want to break you
Maybe just wear you in
Now you're wearing thin
So here we go...
