When it sounds too good to be true, you must know it surely
is
Because fairytales don’t happen and the underdog rarely wins
Our misconception of perfection, derived from movies and
books and plays
Even so has become distorted in this changing cultural age
When something feels so perfect, be sure it’s gonna change
Because nothing that feels worth it ever seems to stay
It must be my own destiny to play sidekick to the hero
In order to assist success even if it’s not my own
For once I wish these stories I’m always writing in my head
Would become some sort of reality, not merely drops of lead
