The Fairytale

I recently came across this song. Click on the picture and listen for yourself. Initially it sounded like an angry girl with a broken heart expelling her tendernesses toward some guy(those are a dime a dozen). I can think of times that I have felt this way, but over the past few years I've had a lot of healing in my heart towards those people. Anyway...

For whatever reason I was in a 'must read the lyrics' mode the other evening, so I looked them up. As I read through the lyrics, I found all sorts of relationships running through my head-- friendships that failed, dysfunction in my family, co-workers that I could have reached out to, me and God, people to who I was down right mean , and the ones that were mean to me.

The thoughts that saddened my heart, were the relationships that I have with or don't really have with 3 key people in my life. Lately I've felt 'But now we're not, Now it's not anything at all.' And I positively agree that 'The hardest part was getting this close to you, and giving up this dream I built with you. A fairytale that isn't coming true.' Oh how I wish things had turned out different with these people. I find myself always hoping that everything will turn out OK in the end, and we'll get to experience the fairytale.


Wishes

The saddest thing is you could be anything that you could want
We could have been everything
But now we’re not
Now it’s not anything at all

The hardest part was getting this close to you
And giving up this dream I built with you
A fairytale that isn’t coming true
You’ve got some growing up to do

CHORUS:
I wish we could have worked it out
I wish I didn’t have these doubts
I wish I didn’t have to wonder just what you are doing now

I wish I didn’t know inside
That it won’t work out for you and I
I wish that I could stop this wishing
And just say my last goodbye

After all the things you put me through
Tell me why I’m still in love with you
And why am I, why am I still waiting for your call

You broke my heart
I’m taking it back from you
I’m taking back the life that I gave to you
Life goes on before and after you
I’ve got some growing up to do…
CHORUS

It’s time I said my last goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
It’s time I said my last goodbye…
CHORUS

It’s time I said my last goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
It’s time I said my last goodbye
