Love's Unraveling Tale: Book Lovers' Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics
I heard the news from every fool in town
I heard about your new relationship from various unreliable sources.
You got somebody new
You are now involved with someone else.
And I never hurt so bad
I feel immense emotional pain.
The strangest fiction just came true
A bizarre and unlikely situation has actually occurred.
Crowds will gather for a twisted wreck
A large number of people will gather to witness a disastrous situation.
Well, all right stare at me
It's acceptable to stare at my misery.
Its just another story of love
My experience of love turning into a tragedy is just another common story.
That's turned into tragedy
This love story has transformed into a tale of sorrow.
What am I supposed to do
I am unsure of what action to take.
You want a toast from the man who's lost
You want acknowledgment or celebration from someone who has experienced loss.
The man who's double crossed
The person who betrayed me.
From cover to cover
From beginning to end.
Baby you and me were just book lovers
You and I were only enthusiasts of stories (not truly in love).
Since you turned away I turned the page on my happiness
Since you left, I've decided to move on from my happiness.
Once upon a time you were mine, now I must confess
Once, you were mine, but now I have to admit the truth.
I can't bear to read the rest
I cannot bear to know the outcome or future.
It could have been a happy ending girl
Our relationship could have had a joyful conclusion.
Goodness knows, I tried
I made numerous efforts to make things right.
But I see so clearly now
Even in my sadness, I understand clearly.
Even through these tears I've cried
Despite my tears, I have gained insight.
You wanted love to be a fairly tale
You desired a romanticized version of love, like a fairy tale.
With a sleeping beauty scene
With a scene resembling the awakening of Sleeping Beauty.
Now another prince has come
Now, another person has come and fulfilled your dreams.
And kissed you out of all your dreams
You have found someone who has matched your idealized vision.
