There's no such thing as magic

I used to believe in magic In heroes In dreams I used to believe nothing was as hard as it seemed

I used to hold out for a happy ending Hold out for truth, justice and love I even believed in God Almighty Our great Father from above

I used to believe the romantic tales On T.V. and in books I used to believe in the goodness of humans Believed they were deeper Didn't just judge on looks

I used to believe in people I used to believe in me I used to believe in Karma But I'm beginning to see

There's no such thing as magic Dreams don't come true I can't relay on my heroes They've all let me down too

The story lines I watch and read Well they could never be They're just designed to make money From soppy fools like me

This world is built on lies Religion is just another God would not send men to war Brother against brother

Now I have lost my innocence In every single way And I am growing up With every passing day

My bright blue eyes were covered But now they're not, they see Just how terribly un-magical This whole world can be

I don't believe the things I used to My opinions have changed My older eyes take a different view I've been altered by what I've been through

I just don't think the way I did before And I don't believe in magic any more
