I used to love this song.  Now when I hear it, it makes me bristle and then I start to tear up. 
 
 
	Just after DD I was work and this song came on...I started to cry...and nobody at my job knew what had happened between us.  It was horrible.  I had to run off the the toilet to hid so that no one could see me.   
 
 
 
	Mr. Happy and I have since R'ed.  But this song still makes me sad. He was so handsome and a great husband and father... I thought that I was a princess in a fairy tale for most of our marriage.  Now...not so much.   
 
 
 
	We are just statistics...common, prosaic.    Something I never wanted to be... 
 
 
	He is still handsome, and a great providers but our life has changed.  We are different, the innocents is gone. 
 
 
 
	FAIRY TALES~ 
 
 
	I can remember stories, those things my mother said 
 
 
	She told me fairy tales before I went to bed 
 
 
	She spoke of happy endings then tucked me in real tight 
 
 
	She turned my night light on and kissed my face good night 
 
 
	My mind would fill with visions of perfect paradise 
 
 
	She told me everything, she said he'd be so nice 
 
 
	He'd ride up on his horse and take me away one night 
 
 
	I'd be so happy with him, we'd ride clean out of sight 
 
 
	She never said that we would, curse, cry and scream and lie 
 
 
	She never said that maybe, someday he'd say goodbye 
 
 
	The story ends, as stories do 
 
 
	Reality steps into view 
 
 
	No longer living life in paradise 
 
 
	Of fairy tales, no 
 
 
	She spoke about happy endings, of stories not like this 
 
 
	She said he'd slay all dragons, defeat the evil prince 
 
 
	She said he'd come to save me, swim through the stormy seas 
 
 
	I'd understand the story, it would be good for me 
 
 
	You never came to save me, you let me stand alone 
 
 
	Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold 
 
 
	My story end, as stories do 
 
 
	Reality steps into view 
 
 
	No longer living life in paradise 
 
 
	No fairy tales, yes 
 
 
	I don't look for pie up in the sky, baby 
 
 
	Need reality, now, said I 
 
 
	Don't feel the need to be pacified, don't cha try 
 
 
	Honey, I know you lied 
 
 
	You never came to save me, you let me stand alone 
 
 
	Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold 
 
 
	I found no magic potion, no horse with wings to fly 
 
 
	I found the poison apple, my destiny to die 
 
 
	No royal kiss could save me, no magic spell to spin 
 
 
	My fantasy is over, my life must now begin 
 
 
	My story end, as stories do 
 
 
	Reality steps into view 
 
 
	No longer living life in paradise 
 
 
	No fairy tales, hey, hey 
 
 
	Oh, Lord
