No such thing

No monsters lived under my bed

Said fear was all in my head

Wishes on stars, they’d all come true

Truth was simple, black and blue

They said love was forever, never fades

Said hard work means success is made

Said the world was fair and kind

But I found cracks between the lines

We grow up, we fall down

Truth gets lost in what we found

Still we chase what can’t be seen

Somewhere in between

There’s no such thing as perfect love

No such thing as high above

No such thing as always free

Still it’s what we want to be

No such thing, but we pretend

Broken hearts still try again

In a bad, beautiful world we dream

Of things with no such thing (oh-oh)

(No such thing… yeah, yeah…)

Holiday lights don’t fix the pain

Smiles can hide a quiet rain

Heroes fall, and saints can lie

Even truth can wear disguise

Fairytales don’t pay the bills

Time don’t stop, it never will

Still I keep that child inside

Holding on with open eyes

We grow up, we break through

Still believe in something new

Even knowing what it means

We hold to unseen dreams

There’s no such thing as perfect love

No such thing as high above

No such thing as always free

Still it’s what we want to be

No such thing, but we pretend

Broken hearts still try again

In a bad, beautiful world we dream

Of things with no such thing (oh-oh)

Maybe it’s crazy, maybe it’s true

We make the magic we once knew

Even if it’s just a lie

It keeps a little hope alive

Monsters gone… but fear remains

Different shadows, different names

No such thing… still I believe

In what I feel, not what I see

There’s no such thing as perfect love

No such thing as high above

No such thing as always free

Still it’s what we want to be

No such thing, but we pretend

Broken hearts still try again

In this wild, wandering world we dream

Of things with no such thing

(No such thing… we still believe…)

(Oh-oh… no such thing…)

(Still we dream… still we dream…)
