Ever After

Ever After - Aaron Shust

I hate to be the one to break the news

To let you down

But I can't lie to you

There's things about the world I wish weren't true

I guess by now you must have had a clue

It seems you're growing up fast

I tried my best to push back

Would you believe me if I told you

There's no such thing as Peter Pan

No such place as Never Never Land

I wish we all could have those tiny magic wings

But we live in a world with wars

It's not like it was before

We won't find our happy ever after here

There's no such thing

I've dreaded this talk for so long

I knew someday you'd wonder what went wrong

We get to be the story of it all

For the Glory of it all

And so we move along

This is not where it ends

It's just where it begins

Would you believe me if I told you

There's no such thing as Peter Pan

No such place as Never Never Land

I wish we all could have those tiny magic wings

But we live in a world with wars

It's not like it was before

We won't find our happy ever after here

It's not where we belong

And if it's feeling wrong

Oh you must stay strong

'Cause it was here

That I first saw your face

Every night I pray

That you'd believe the same

There's no such thing as Peter Pan

No such place as Never Never Land

I wish we all could have those tiny magic wings

But we live in a world with wars

It's not like it was before

We won't find our happy ever after here

There's no such thing

There's no such thing

I hate to be the one to break the news

To let you down

But I can't lie to you
