It was one of those great stories that you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do and he wasn't afraid to fight
The villain goes to jail, while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me And the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew, he just knew Shadow and shade mix together at dawn
But by the time you catch them, simplicity's gone
So we sort through the pieces, my friends and I
Searching through the darkness to find the breaks in the sky And the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew, he just knew And we wonder, yes, we wonder
How do you make sense of this?
When the hero kills the maiden
With his kiss, with his kiss Well, it was one of those great stories that you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do and he wasn't afraid to fight
The villain goes to jail, while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me, it were that simple for me
