Ever After

Ella:
Just as the rain might fall
I've been bracing for years
Has living with pain eroded
The last of my fears
Am I ready?

Kings rise, kings fall
When hope dies, is a queen called?
Will it ever after happily?
Will it ever after happily?

If it feels like a burden, I know that I'm on the right track
All I've known is that

Chorus:
All I've known is that

Ella (Chorus):
If it lightens the load, I know there must be a catch (there must be a catch
So what else is attached?
(Oh, you know there's something)
When the tide’s high, green grows
Is it my time, or was it long-

All:
-ago?
Will it еver after happily?

Ella:
Or will it all turn to dust?

All:
Will it evеr after happily?

Ella:
Like everything that I touch?

All:
Will it ever after

Ella:
And it may not be for me, oh no
If it spares them from these trolls
Then I'll keep stepping the stones
That come unnaturally

When I was four I'd lay in bed and paint a picture with my thoughts
Then the next day I couldn't wait to use my brush
And through the years, I still remember the picture that I'd paint
It was, of everyone that I've lost

Chorus:
Will it ever after happily?
Ella:
I've been thinking about, thinking about, thinking about

Chorus:
Ah ah. Will it ever after happily?

Ella:
If I… If I close my eyes...

All:
Will it ever after happily?

Ella (Chorus):
I was raised, to be appraised, my path was paved, dress was made
A princess bride to be oh, oh, oh (ah ah)
(Will it ever after happily)
You know you don't wanna know it, if life is a burden, Oh! (Will it ever after happily)
Am I cursed or crazy now?! (Ah, Ah, will it ever-after)
Has living with pain eroded the last of my fears...

All:
Am I ready?
