every fairytale I've been told

Don’t it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are?

You grew up way too fast, now there’s nothing to believe.

I am most certainly not all right. But the lie works, as I know it will. It never seems to fail, doesn't it? That's what living in their world is - a big fat lie. Lie, lie, lie. An illusion where everyone looks the other way and pretends that nothing unpleasant exists at all.
