Broken Fairytales

"Broken Fairytales"

(Verse 1)

Once upon a time, I believed in dreams,

In castles in the sky and silver moonbeams.

A world where love could conquer any fight,

And every star burned endlessly bright.

(Pre-Chorus)

But the pages turned, the colors bled,

The magic faded, the whispers fled.

Fairytales, they lied to me,

Life’s no kingdom by the sea.

(Chorus)

Oh, fairytales are life, they said,

But they left me chasing ghosts instead.

Every promise, every vow,

Just a shadow breaking now.

The glass slippers cracked beneath my feet,

Happily ever after’s bittersweet.

Oh, fairytales are life, they said,

But the dream was always dead.

(Verse 2)

I built my tower high, waiting for the day,

For someone strong enough to take me away.

But no one came; the silence grew,

The prince was just a tale, untrue.

(Pre-Chorus)

The dragons stayed, the thorns remained,

The golden endings never came.

Fairytales, they broke my heart,

Left me torn and worlds apart.

(Chorus)

Oh, fairytales are life, they said,

But they left me chasing ghosts instead.

Every promise, every vow,

Just a shadow breaking now.

The glass slippers cracked beneath my feet,

Happily ever after’s bittersweet.

Oh, fairytales are life, they said,

But the dream was always dead.

(Bridge)

The storybook is tattered, torn,

The crown I wore now feels forlorn.

The clock struck twelve, the magic died,

The tears fell, no hand to dry.

(Outro)

Once upon a time, I believed in dreams,

But life is nothing like it seems.

Fairytales were life, they said,

But they buried hope inside my head.

A broken tale, an empty page,

A heart locked in a lonely cage.

Oh, fairytales are life, they said,

But they left me chasing ghosts instead.
