Lyrics
[Intro]
You ever wake up from a dream
And miss the lie more than the truth?
[Verse 1]
We learned love from bedtime stories,
Gold stars, glass shoes, borrowed glory.
Tucked our doubts beneath the sheet,
Built a palace where the floorboards creak.
You said forever like a password,
I said believe it, made it matter.
But every promise wore thin at the edges,
Like old photographs losing their subjects.
I kept a candle by the window,
You kept one foot out in the cold.
We called it fate when we were afraid
To name the bargain we had made.
[Chorus]
True love is a fairytale we tell ourselves at night,
A little paper kingdom keeping fear out of sight.
We close our eyes, we let the pretty story lie,
Then morning pulls the curtain back—love was only a lie.
[Verse 2]
Real world, cheap flowers, unpaid debts,
Half-read messages and unfinished regrets.
Two hearts saying “always” with their fingers crossed,
Counting what they gave, calculating what they lost.
I watched devotion turn transactional,
Every tender word became conditional.
You wanted proof, I wanted peace,
We both mistook possession for release.
The violin cries like it knows my name,
Four strings pulling smoke from the frame.
If love is real, why does it leave
A locked front door and a sleeve to grieve?
[Chorus]
True love is a fairytale we tell ourselves at night,
A little paper kingdom keeping fear out of sight.
We close our eyes, we let the pretty story lie,
Then morning pulls the curtain back—love was only a lie.
[Bridge]
Maybe the lie is what keeps us breathing,
Maybe the dream is the part worth keeping.
Not every wound needs a reason,
Not every heart survives the season.
[Final Chorus]
True love is a fairytale we tell ourselves at night,
But sometimes broken people need a softer kind of light.
I won’t call it forever, I won’t swear that you’re mine,
I’ll call it what it was—and leave the rest behind.
[Outro]
Close the book.
Kill the candle.
Morning comes.
I can handle it.
