Ever After

I hate to be the one to break the news To let you down But I can't lie to you There's things about the world I wish weren't true I guess by now, you must have had a clue It seems you're growing up fast I tried my best to push back Would you believe me if I told you There's no such thing as Peter Pan? No such place as Never Never Land? I wish we all could have those tiny magic wings But we live in a world with wars It's not like it was before We won't find our happy ever after here There's no such thing I've dreaded this talk for so long I knew someday, you'd wonder what went wrong We get to be the story of it all For the Glory of it all And so we move along This is not where it ends It's just where it begins Would you believe me if I told you There's no such thing as Peter Pan? No such place as Never Never Land? I wish we all could have those tiny magic wings But we live in a world with wars It's not like it was before We won't find our happy ever after here There's no such thing It's not where we belong And if it's feeling wrong Oh you must stay strong 'Cause it was here That I first saw your face Every night I pray That you'd believe the same There's no such thing as Peter Pan? No such place as Never Never Land? I wish we all could have those tiny magic wings But we live in a world with wars It's not like it was before We won't find our happy ever after here There's no such thing There's no such thing I hate to be the one to break the news To let you down But I can't lie to you --- Ever After - Aaron Shust
