Well it was one of those great stories

that you can't put down at night

the hero knew what he had to do

and he wasn't afraid to fight

the villain goes to jail, while the hero goes free

I wish it were that simple for me.



And the reason that she loved him

was the reason I loved him too

and he never wondered what was right or wrong

he just knew - he just knew.



Shadows and shape mixed together at dawn

but by time you catch them simplicity's gone

and so we sort through the pieces

my friends and I

searching through the darkness to find

the breaks in the sky.



And the reason that she loved him

was the reason I loved him too

and he never wondered what was right or wrong

he just knew - he just knew.



And we wonder, yes we wonder

how do you make sense of this

when the hero kills the maiden

with his kiss - with his kiss.



Well it was one of those great stories

that you can't put down at night

the hero knew what he had to do

and he wasn't afraid to fight

the villain goes to jail, while the hero goes free

I wish it were that simple for me

- if it were that simple for me.
