Storybook Endings (If You Stop Believin’)

Once in a house way down memory lane
There lived two lovers who quarreled in vain
Love made a stone wall and now the wall’s all that remains
So this is where that story comes to the end
‘Cause the family was never together again
That’s just the way some stories go
But before you know it another begins

(Chorus)
Storybook endings and white picket fences
Castles and tales where the prince finds the princess ain’t real
If you stop believin’

The ending had come as a total surprise
And you shoulda seen all the tears in the eyes
Of all the family as they all said their goodbyes
Goodbye to those who have fell by the way
Goodbye to dreams they will call yesterday
But they’ll rekindle some in the chapters to come
From the sequel called life day-to-day

(Chorus)
Storybook endings and white picket fences
Castles and tales where the prince finds the princess ain’t real
If you stop believin’

(Bridge)
So ashes-to-ashes when dreams all come tumblin’ down
‘Cause the world it just keeps spinnin’ on like a merry-go-round

(Chorus)
Storybook endings and white picket fences
Castles and tales where the prince finds the princess ain’t real
If you stop believin’
If you stop believin’
