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      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      Shadows and shape mixed together at dawn   But by time you catch them simplicity's gone   And 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   If it were that simple for me
