Well, I set myself up big time this time With the notion that you try your best And everyone wins
But nothing ever goes that smoothly And it won't end like a movie Where the good guy always wins
Until you figure out a way you can live without stories without happy ends
Everyone I know is trying to get by Fighting all the half-true lies Nobody can win
The fill you up with expectation, innovations, predictions, that can't possibly fly Cinderella's waiting tables, and the princess never did wake up That's how it begins
Until you figure out a way that you can live without stories with happy ends
Everyone I know is trying to get by, fighting all the half-true lies
