NO MORE FAIRY TALES

NO MORE FAIRY TALES

⸻

Intro (10-Second Chant — Heartbeat + Crowd Clap)

(Heartbeat. Distant crowd hum.)

I loved too hard.

I stayed too long.

I called it love…

But I was wrong.

No more tears.

No more pain.

No more fairy tales again.

(Beat drops.)

⸻

Verse 1

I used to call it love when it was breaking me

Called it passion when it was pain

Stayed up nights just trying to fix a thing

That was never mine to save

You said “forever,” looked in my eyes

I built a future on your lies

I was fighting just to survive

While you were halfway out the door

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I bent till I almost disappeared

Swallowed every doubt and fear

But love shouldn’t feel like war

And I’m not living like that anymore

⸻

Hook (Big. Anthem. Repeatable.)

I GAVE MY ALL — YOU GAVE THE MINIMUM

I GAVE MY HEART — YOU GAVE ME SCARS

You said you’d never walk away

But that’s just who you are

Is true love really real?

Or just a fairy tale we’re told?

‘Cause I kept bleeding for a promise

That was never gold

No more crying on my bedroom floor

No more begging you for more

I won’t settle for the bare minimum

Not anymore. Not anymore.

⸻

Verse 2

I shrank myself to fit your world

Lost my voice just to keep the peace

Called it loyalty, called it growth

But I was breaking piece by piece

I was your shelter in the storm

Your midnight call when things went wrong

But when I needed someone strong

You were already gone

⸻

Pre-Chorus (Shorter Build)

I kept forgiving what hurt my soul

Kept calling chaos “home”

But love shouldn’t feel like survival mode

And I’m finally letting go

⸻

Hook (Bigger — Crowd Echo Feel)

I GAVE MY ALL — (All!)

YOU GAVE THE MINIMUM — (Minimum!)

I GAVE MY HEART —

YOU GAVE ME SCARS

You swore forever wouldn’t end

But forever fell apart

Is true love really real?

Or just a fairy tale we’re sold?

‘Cause I kept bleeding for a promise

That turned so cold

No more crying on my bedroom floor

No more begging you for more

I won’t settle for the bare minimum

Not anymore.

⸻

Spoken-Word Breakdown (Music Drops — Piano + Low Bass)

You said, “If you love me, stay.”

So I stayed.

Through the yelling.

Through the silence.

Through nights I barely recognized my own reflection.

I called it patience.

I called it growth.

I called it “every relationship has storms.”

But storms aren’t supposed to feel like war zones.

Love isn’t supposed to make you small.

And I will NEVER

Call pain passion again.

Never again.

(Drums rumble back in.)

⸻

Final Chorus (Key Lift / Stadium Explosion)

I GAVE MY ALL — AND THAT’S MY POWER

I LOVED OUT LOUD — I OWN THAT TRUTH

If true love’s real, it won’t feel like trauma

It won’t look anything like you

No more fairy tales

No more broken vows

No more bare minimum

I KNOW MY WORTH NOW

If love comes, it comes correct

With respect, with depth, with honor

And if it doesn’t — I stand alone

Stronger than ever

Not anymore.

Not again.

I will never lose myself

Just to love a man.

NO MORE FAIRY TALES.
