True story, as many of us have been there, male or female. I had a girl friend that had an idealized perception of what the perfect couple was, or at least what she thought it was. We argued very little, but when we finally did have a serious disagreement

Lyrics
It's late and I'm all alone
Writing this song for you
I don't know where it starts, but I do know where it ends
Why can't we see the forest for the rest of reality?
In the storybooks you've read, is there a story to explain you and me?
How the ending came crashing down, like the sound of sad, sad, symphony
And why can't we see the forest for the rest of reality?
And if you get caught in the woods of blame, there will be no one to save your day
Maybe you can follow the trail of breadcrumbs to lead you back to the one you once loved
Now you're out in your car staring at your set of keys
While the words of my song start rolling down your cheeks
Why can't we see the forest for the rest of reality?
For the rest of reality
Just the rest of reality
For the rest of reality
Just the rest of reality
