lyrics

I can find a path out of this shadow
I don’t need a riding hood
If I get the story right
If I get the story right
I can make the ending turn out better
Wrap my arms around you like a lover
Follow every moral by the letter
that will keep me safe and sound

And I believe that I could heal your broken heart (your broken heart)

I will be the prize inside your tower
Better than Rapunzel could
And if I get the story right
If I get the story right
I won’t ever leave for any reason
Keep me like a secret if it’s pleasing
I will be here season after season
Anything you ask my love

And I believe that I could heal your broken heart (your broken heart)

I don’t need to kiss a handsome prince
I know you are the perfect frog
And if I get the story right
If I get the story right
I can make believe that you still love me
I can take a hit, my fault, forgive me
We can make it work; we’ll be so happy
One day when the story’s done

The story is never done
You said that last time was the last time
And forgiveness is a rose inside a vase waiting to die
And Lord I don’t know how long I can live inside a lie

I dreamed that I could heal your broken heart
They say that beauty saved the beast
But I think she died trying
Yes, I think she died
Died trying

I know what a prison doorway looks like
Better than Scheherazade
But if I get the story right
If I get the story right
Maybe you are better than the worst thing
You have ever done - I guess that’s something
Take me if you want; I’ll keep on giving
All I need is hope my love
