Fairytales Tell Tales Lyrics
Let's pretend we're not needy
Let's pretend our hearts still beat
Let's pretend we fall in love tonight
Clumsy enough to fall for anything
We'll stumble on our words
We'll spill our guts on creaking bar stools
Below the neon blue
Low-lives hiding in dives
There's no feeling in drinking
Sleeping with strangers
Ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware
A faint reflection on the barback's mirror
A face I never knew whispering
"Please don't be a stranger to me
Who are you if you're alone?"
You're no good at pretending
All my plays have tragic endings
You wish I was a fairy tale
This frog will never change anything
Just pretend that you're in love
That scolding sun is bound to come up eventually
So who is it that whispers in your ear ?
A haunting voice blows in through the window
There's no feeling floating over beds
A needy, pleading apparition
Crying, "Who am I if I'm alone?"
I hardly exist at all
Let's pretend that we don't need anything anymore from anyone
I don't want to feel anything anymore
Lets just pretend
We'll live happily ever after
Let's pretend our hearts still beat
Let's pretend we fall in love tonight
Clumsy enough to fall for anything
We'll stumble on our words
We'll spill our guts on creaking bar stools
Below the neon blue
Low-lives hiding in dives
There's no feeling in drinking
Sleeping with strangers
Ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware
A faint reflection on the barback's mirror
A face I never knew whispering
"Please don't be a stranger to me
Who are you if you're alone?"
You're no good at pretending
All my plays have tragic endings
You wish I was a fairy tale
This frog will never change anything
Just pretend that you're in love
That scolding sun is bound to come up eventually
So who is it that whispers in your ear ?
A haunting voice blows in through the window
There's no feeling floating over beds
A needy, pleading apparition
Crying, "Who am I if I'm alone?"
I hardly exist at all
Let's pretend that we don't need anything anymore from anyone
I don't want to feel anything anymore
Lets just pretend
We'll live happily ever after

i love this whole song. crying 'who am i if im alone? i hardly exist at all. lets pretend that we dont need anything anymore from anyone. i dont want to feel anything anymore lets just pretend' well live happily ever after
Those lyrics just describe me though. I loovve Cursive.
ok. i just... i had to say that this song is my favorite and the lyrics send chills.
"a face i never knew whispering, 'please dont be a stranger to me. who are you if youre alone' "
wow...that's all i can say.
i think this is my favorite cursive song.
this is by far the best cursive song. it reminds me of a person who doesn't want to feel or need anything. they just want the comfort of belonging to someone and not being lonely.
This is in my top 5 by far, fucking amazing.
"you're no good at pretending, all my plays have tragic endings. you wish i was a fairy tale this frog will never change anything. just pretend that you're in love." this song is oh-so-great. it makes you feel every word. magical.
