Fairytale Gone Bad
Sunrise Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lady, the plans we had went all wrong
We ain't nothing but fight and shout and tears
We got to a point I can't stand
I've had it to the limit, I can't be your man
I ain't more than a minute away from walking
We can't find a need to stay
I slowly realized there's nothing on our side
Out of my life, Out of my mind
Out of the tears we can't deny
We need to swallow all our pride
And leave this mess behind
Out of my head, Out of my bed
Out of the dreams we had, they're bad
Tell them it's me who made you sad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Another night and I bleed
They all make mistakes and so did we
But we did something we can never turn back right
Find a new one to fool
Leave and don't look back, I won't follow
We have nothing left, it's the end of our time
We can't cry the pain away
We can't find a need to stay
There's no more rabbits in my hat to make things right
Out of my life, Out of my mind
Out of the tears we can't deny
We need to swallow all our pride
And leave this mess behind
Out of my head, Out of my bed
Out of the dreams we had, they're bad
Tell them it's me who made you sad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Out of my life, Out of my mind
Out of the tears we can't deny
We need to swallow all our pride
And leave this mess behind
Out of my head, Out of my bed
Out of the dreams we had, they're bad
Tell them it's me who made you sad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad

Line by Line Meaning
This is the end you know
It's the end of our relationship, there's nothing more to be done
Lady, the plans we had went all wrong
The future we envisioned together didn't come to fruition
We ain't nothing but fight and shout and tears
Our relationship is defined by arguments and tears
We got to a point I can't stand
Things have gotten so bad I can't handle it anymore
I've had it to the limit, I can't be your man
I'm at my breaking point, I can no longer be in this relationship
I ain't more than a minute away from walking
I'm on the verge of leaving
We can't cry the pain away
We can't simply ignore the pain we're feeling
We can't find a need to stay
We can't think of a reason to keep our relationship going
I slowly realized there's nothing on our side
I've come to the realization that our relationship has no future
Out of my life, Out of my mind
I want you out of my life and thoughts
Out of the tears we can't deny
We can't hide or ignore our emotions anymore
We need to swallow all our pride
We have to put aside our egos and move on
And leave this mess behind
We have to leave this failed relationship in the past
Out of my head, Out of my bed
I need to forget you and move on
Out of the dreams we had, they're bad
Our shared dreams for the future have turned sour
Tell them it's me who made you sad
Blame me, not yourself, for the pain our relationship caused
Another night and I bleed
I'm hurting every night because of our failed relationship
They all make mistakes and so did we
Everyone makes mistakes, including us
But we did something we can never turn back right
We made a mistake that we can't fix or undo
Find a new one to fool
Find someone else to deceive or mislead
Leave and don't look back, I won't follow
I'm not interested in trying to keep our relationship going
We have nothing left, it's the end of our time
Our relationship is over, there's nothing left to salvage
There's no more rabbits in my hat to make things right
There's nothing left I can do to fix our relationship
Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Tell everyone our relationship didn't have a happy ending
Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Reiterate that our relationship didn't work out
