Fairy Tale Lyrics - Sounds Like Harmony

I met this man out on the road 

And he told me, "Son, I'll take you where you wanna go 

You see the devil, he has his ways 

It's not the life you lead, it's about the price you'll pay" 

And then he told me once, you'll ever speak my name 

And then he told me twice and let me slip away 

"Fairy tales are make believe 

And all the lies they tell to help you sleep 

And live a life that's so demanding 

When none of us get happy endings 

Storybooks aren't what they seem 

And all the lies they raised you to believe. 

Be a good ol' boy and stop pretending 

Cause you won't find your happy ending." 

I had this vision out on my own 

I had to pick and choose, I knew just what I had to do 

So I set out to find this man 

And curse his name for all I've paid 

Whoa 

And then he told me once, you'll ever speak my name. 

And then he told me twice and let me slip away 

"Fairy tales are make believe 

And all the lies they tell to help you sleep 

And live a life that's so demanding 

When none of us get happy endings. 

Storybooks aren't what they seem 

And all the lies they raised you to believe 

Be a good ol' boy and stop pretending 

Cause you won't find your happy ending." 

"Love me, hate me if you want, 

But you will never be a star, 

Unless you sign the dotted line 

And write your name in dollar signs." 

"Love me, hate me if you want, 

But you will never be a star, 

Unless you sign the dotted line 

And write your name in dollar signs." 

"Fairy tales are make believe 

And all the lies they tell to help you sleep 

And live a life that's so demanding 

When none of us get happy endings. 

Storybooks aren't what they seem 

And all the lies they raised you to believe 

Be a good ol' boy and stop pretending 

Cause you won't find your happy ending." 

Fairy tales are make believe 

The happiest ending for someone like me 

Fairy tales are make believe 

So I'm better off if I die in my sleep
