You used to be my fairy tale;
my dream when I'm not sleeping.
With each and every passing day,
I could feel my love for you deepening.

It was only for a little while
that everything was right.
Then, it all came crashing down,
and my happiness was out of sight.

You, on the other hand, weren't bothered.
You just went right on with your life.
You were free from falling tears,
heartache, pain.

I know now that dreams were meant for nighttime,
not for bright and sunny weather.
And all fairy tales must end.
They can't go on forever.

The ending might not always be a happy one,
but it will happen nonetheless.
You just have to ask yourself,
"What can I learn from this?"

From you, I learned a lot of things.
I will forever keep them in my mind.
I might be able to use this knowledge
somewhere down the line. 

I remember all the things you did
that made me feel so good.
I remember the day that everything changed.
I guess I always knew that it would. 

Hard times will come inevitably.
From heartache, there's no escape.
But if you just trust in the Lord,
He will make it all okay.
