The Curse Lyrics

We've heard the tale since we were young,
Heard the songs that have been sung,
About an evil spell.

Someone beautiful is cursed
We feel sad through every verse
Til a kiss and all is well

The message that no one can see
Is clearer to someone like me

There is no curse or evil spell
That's worse than one we give ourselves
There is no sorceror as cruel,
As the proud and angry fool.

And yet, we cry life isn't fair
Beneath our cries the truth is there

The power that will break the spell
We should know very well
Is locked within ourselves

Yet we'd rather blame,
And curse our fate than change
We run from everyone to hide from the pain
And all the shame

The story's old we know it well
About a wretched evil spell
The power that will break this curse
Oh I know all too well
Is locked within myself
