Lyrics
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
© 2013 Diana Rasmussen
V1
There's an empty box of Kleenex, she cries out in fear.
She stands in disbelief, realizing he's not there.
20 years of marriage, flushed down the drain.
He met up with someone else, as she stands numb with pain.
CHORUS
No more Prince Charming, Snow White will not wake up.
Cinderella's slipper is smashed, it's a quarter to twelve.
Little Red Riding Hood got eaten by the wolf,
3 Little Pigs are homeless now, Goldilocks met her end.
Happily Ever After is just a fairy tale, Happily Ever After is just a fairy tale.
V2
Her tears flow freely as she's trying to let go.
All her castles washed away, not the ending she had planned.
Its lawyers and judges, contempt and child support.
Truth is stranger than fiction in never-never land.
REPEAT CHORUS X2
