It was one of those great stories

That you can't put down at night

The hero knew what he had to do

And he wasn't afraid to fight

The villian goes to jail

While the hero goes free

I wish it were that simple for me



And the reason that she loved him

Was the reason I loved him too

And he never wondered what was

Right or wrong

He just knew

He just knew



Shadow and shade mix together at dawn

But by the time you catch them

Simplicity's gone

So we sort through the pieces

My friends and I

Searching through the darkness to find

The breaks in the sky



And the reason that she loved him

Was the reason I loved him too

And he never wondered what was

Right or wrong

He just knew

He just knew



And we wonder yes we wonder

How do you make sense of this

When the hero

Kills the maiden

With his kiss

With his kiss



Well it was one of those great stories

That you can't put down at night

The hero knew what he had to do

And he wasn't afraid to fight

The villian goes to jail

While the hero goes free

I wish it were that simple

For me



Were that simple for me
