I believe this song has to do with coming of age and the discovery that life can be very cruel at times when it turns it's back on us. the verses:
This story's missing a wishing well
No mirror to show and tell
No kiss that can break the spell
I'm falling asleep
I believe signifies a depression or saddened state of mind that the singer is slipping into because not so great things are starting to happen to her and there is "No kiss that can break the spell" and no "wishing well" as there usually is in fairtytails to save the main character(s).
The next set of verses goes on to say:
Every Prince is a fantasy
The witch is inside of me
The poison will wash away the memory
The prince could stand for a lost love that the singer realized was nothing but a fraud and added to her realization of the cruelty of life. The which is inside of me signifies a sort of anger or depressive state that is overtaking the singer and causing her to lose her senses and causing her memories to be misconstued in her mind.
We kill the lights
And put on a show
It's all a lie
But you'd never know
The star will shine
And then it will fall
And you will forget it all
We kill the lights and put on a show signifies that life must go on and that everyone sooner or later realizes this and bury their pain to continue their show or their life. However the pain leaves scars and doesnt really ever go away and the show put on by people is nothing but a lie to keep people from seeing their pain. The star will shine and then it will fall is talking about the stages of life again in that we shine through our youth and are higly active however no matter what kind of mark we leave in time we are forgotten by those around us sooner or later.
And after midnight (at the end of our life)
We're all the same (we are all in the same position)
No glass shoe to bring us fame (we must all work for our place in life there is no shortcut)
Nobody to take the blame (no one else will take the blame for what we have done wrong in our lives and we are responsible)
We're falling apart (every second we waste is a second closer to death)
Every story's a waiting game (we do not know what cards we will be dealt in life so we are always wondering what is coming next)
A flower for every name (we all start out with so much opportunity)
Their colors are paling (innocence and opportunity are slowly rotting away as we grow older and more problems get in the way)
in the falling rain
Now you know it's so much better to pretend
There's something waiting for you here (its easy to pretend unrequited love can leave somewhere)
Every letter that you wrote (talking to a person that loves her but that she no longer has feelings for)
Has found its way to me my dear (confirming that she got the message from him)
You can make believe that what you say (however she is not interested in what he has to say and their realtionship is dead)
Is what I want to hear
I'll keep dancing through this beautiful, (could have to do with the person she doesnt feel love for anymore possibly cant bring herself to tell him so she is just faking her love for him)
delusional career.
Faking every tear
Looking like a comprimise suicide
Keeping all my dreams alive (could also mean that she is continuing to pretend like her life is what it should be when in reality she is keeping her fairytale dreams alive in her head and holding on to them.)
