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
There's no such thing

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
