Keep the ring your promised me would always fit around my fingertips
It left my skin all green and dry
Just like your smile it was counterfeit
And oh, I fell for a fairy tale
A love derailed by lies
And oh, I tried every trick I knew to save the last of you and I
Oh I threw my change in the wishing well but the well had all run dry
Yeah I wasted every cent I saved to think a wish could change the tide
I was a fool to think it might
When I was young my daddy told me stories about happy ends
And I believed with all of me those stories weren't just all pretend
And oh, I fell for a fairy tale
A love derailed by lies
And oh, tried every trick I knew to save the last of you and I
Oh I threw my change in the wishing well but the well had all run dry
Yeah I wasted every cent I saved to think a wish could change the tide
Oh I threw my change in the wishing well but the well had all run dry
Yeah I wasted every cent I saved to think a wish could change the tide
I was a fool to think it might
