Wishing Well

Keep the ring your promised me would always fit around my fingertips
It left my skin all green and dry
Just like your smile it was counterfeit

And oh, I fell for a fairy tale
A love derailed by lies
And oh, I tried every trick I knew to save the last of you and I

Oh I threw my change in the wishing well but the well had all run dry
Yeah I wasted every cent I saved to think a wish could change the tide
I was a fool to think it might

When I was young my daddy told me stories about happy ends
And I believed with all of me those stories weren't just all pretend

And oh, I fell for a fairy tale
A love derailed by lies
And oh, tried every trick I knew to save the last of you and I

Oh I threw my change in the wishing well but the well had all run dry
Yeah I wasted every cent I saved to think a wish could change the tide
Oh I threw my change in the wishing well but the well had all run dry
Yeah I wasted every cent I saved to think a wish could change the tide
I was a fool to think it might
