Gretchen - Fairy Tale Lyrics

(verse 1)

Imagine me, another puppet in a daydream

A product of the toymaker's hand

You sent down your son to save a world of expectators

and turn this wooden boy into a man



(pre-chorus 1)

Your curtain came down on the puppet master's crown

and now I've got no strings to hold me down

you said:



(chorus)

Ever after came to be

When they nailed me to the tree

This is not a fantasy

30 Pieces, paid the price

But I wrote the story line

And everything will be just fine



(verse 2)

Imagine me, another bluebird in a theme song

Flying over every rainbow's peak

You held out your hand across a million movie theaters

To prove your love was all I'll ever need



(pre-chorus 2)

The twister came down, it brought me to my knees

You put a new heart where a tin one used to be

You said:



(chorus)



(pre-chorus 3)

The hammer came down it nailed you to the tree

What were you thinking, was it all because of me



(verse 3)

Imagine me, another Ella in the cinders

underneath my wicked mother's thumb

You held out your hand, you had a royal invitation

to anyone who'd want to meet your son.



(pre-chorus 4)

Your spirit came down, made a new girl out of me

I tried your love on and it fit me perfectly

You said:



(chorus)

(chorus)
