[Verse 1]
You say forever like it’s stone
I hear it crack in your tone
Sooner or later, you will go
I learned that truth the hard way, slow
I kept the rings, kept the lies
Kept the rain inside my eyes
Now every vow you set in flame
Burns down to the same old name
[Pre-Chorus]
So save it
(save it)
Keep your crown
I’ve seen promises
Hit the ground
[Chorus]
Forever is a fairytale
Forever is a fairytale
I won’t fall for that spell
I know the ending well
Forever is a fairytale
(yeah, forever)
And I won’t kneel again
[Verse 2]
Your hands were warm, your words were clean
But clean things rot where they’ve been seen
I watched the mask slip off your face
A pretty ghost in a borrowed place
You call it love, I call it smoke
A velvet chain, a joke you sold
I’m not the boy you left astray
I cut those threads, I walked away
[Pre-Chorus]
So save it
(save it)
Keep your crown
I’ve seen promises
Hit the ground
[Chorus]
Forever is a fairytale
Forever is a fairytale
I won’t fall for that spell
I know the ending well
Forever is a fairytale
(yeah, forever)
And I won’t kneel again
[Bridge]
Let the violins tear the air
I’ve buried hope and I don’t care
If love is real, then prove it now
Not in the dream, not in the vow
I’m made of scars
(I’m made of scars)
I’m made of ash
(and fire)
If you want me, bring the truth
Or watch me turn to thunder ash
[Final Chorus]
Forever is a fairytale
Forever is a fairytale
I won’t fall for that spell
I know the ending well
Forever is a fairytale
(never again)
And I won’t kneel again
