When the clock strikes twelve
This magical moment will fade
The masks will fall from their places
And it will be the end of this charade
I don't think I could take it
I couldn't handle the pain
You know that I'm strong
But I can't feel that again
I didn't think it was possible
That you'd ever spare me a glance
After all I was just a simple pauper
I didn't deserve this whirlwind romance
You know no one would have ever believed it
That to me a prince would speak even a word
Certainly nobody, not even I, ever expected
That you would show me your world
I got to know you better
You let me inside your mind
You shared with me your secrets
Hidden things no one would ever find
Slowly I returned the favor
In you I learned to confide
Each passing day felt like forever
A glorious eternity with you by my side
I never ever want this to end
This fairytale that I'm living
But I know it won't last forever
This great love story is ending
For so long I've dreamed of the moment
When I'd find a love so honest and true
For so long I've sat wishing and hoping
Now at last I've finally found you
I didn't want anything from you
Not the crown not diamonds from your heirloom
Just yourself and the silly things you do
A simple wish that I hoped would come true
But I guess it wasn't meant to last
Though I hold on it's slipping away fast
Wishes on a shooting star don't come true
Maybe I'm just not meant to be with you
