Story Behind The Song

This song began with the chorus and the hi-hat riff, and grew from that. Early versions were much more fairy-tale dream-like, but some friends who liked the concept of the song helped me bring more focus to it. But it still clocked in at about 7 minutes

This woman believed that love would be all sparkly fairy-tale perfect. Real love is never like that all the time. When her first relationship didn't meet her expectations, she decided to never fall in love until her fairy-tale perfect love could come tr

Lyrics

World of Make Believe © 2003 by Seth Lisonbee
(1)
Happily forever after, so the stories go.
You keep dreaming, still believing that's how life is, also.
So you fail to see the real love passing you by
I can't convince you of what you're missing, if you won't try to open up your eyes.
When you were younger, you thought love was only what it appeared.
One misunderstanding left you drowning in a river of tears.
And now you're ...

(chorus) Living in a World of Make Believe,
building your life of fantasy.
Every day just another dream,
now that love is gone.
And in your world you'll never see,
how sweet love can really be.
You'll go on waiting endlessly
(1) for that perfect love to come your way.
(2) for your prince to come take you away.
(3) after I am gone,
after I am gone,
after I am gone,
after love is gone...
...away.
(2)
Do you expect a knight in armor? I am just a man,
starting on this Hero's quest, to try and win your hand.
Will I have to slay a dragon, or bring treasures rare,
lay them all before your throne to prove to you how much I care?
Love comes and love goes, your broken heart doesn't have to last forever.
From our variant places, we could end up stronger together.
But you keep ... (chorus with 2 ending)

(bridge)
Those fairy tales like young girls play, wishing they'ld come true,
Now you've grown up, but still you hope, that someday that glass slipper will fit you.
But all you have left is...
Flowers pressed in pages, brittle pieces of a life that's gone.
You're clinging to memories, while around you life goes on.
And you're still ... (chorus with 3 ending)
