Modern Day Tragedy by Sugapablo

Poor old, gatekeeper's son,
He wanted to be the king.
His girl she had much simpler tastes in mind,
All she wanted from him was a ring
Not that he didn't love her, because I tell you he did.
But he had his eyes on the prize.
She'd wait and night behind her house for him.
Along came the devil in disguise.
Along came the devil in disguise.

[chorus]
Looks like another modern day tragedy.
Looks like another moment in hell.
Looks like another modern day tragedy.
Only time will tell.
Only time will tell.

Her love for him was true but the devil has his ways.
He tried to convince her otherwise.
He told her her prince would never have time for her.
But then she looked deep into his eyes.
She said she would never give up she had faith in him.
And the devil knew this to be true.
So with a smile on his face he left her all alone.
The sun will be risin' rather soon.
The sun will be risin' rather soon.

[chorus]

The morning came her anticipation grew,
But her prince was nowhere to be found.
Suddenly she realized maybe her faith for him was flawed.
She let loose her tears upon the ground.
The boy his pursuits will leave him an empty man,
For he had his chance at love.
The devil was content although he knew that he would win,
'Cause sometimes love just ain't enough.
'Cause sometimes love just ain't enough.

[chorus]
