[Verse]
He comes home with dirt still caked on his boots,
Kisses my cheek, says, "Babe, I won’t be long."
But the hum of his headset starts in the next room,
And I know where his heart roams when the day is gone.
[Verse 2]
It’s him and his boys, running wild through the fight,
Buildin' their dreams in a pixel-lit land.
As I sit in the quiet of another long night,
I hold my ring, and I try to understand.
[Chorus]
Fortnite and fairytales don’t go side by side,
He’s chasing victories while I’m losing my pride.
I just wanted forever, with love that won’t fade,
But I’m sharing my husband with the games that he plays.
[Verse 3]
The laughter he shares with those friends in his ear,
It echoes through walls, but it’s so far from me.
I cook up some supper, but he won’t appear,
Lost in their battles that I'll never see.
[Bridge]
And I wonder sometimes, is this the life that I chose?
The man I adore in a world I can’t know.
I miss the evenings when it was just him and me,
Before Fortnite turned him into someone I can’t reach.
[Chorus]
Fortnite and fairytales don’t go side by side,
He’s chasing victories while I’m losing my pride.
I just wanted forever, with love that won’t fade,
But I’m sharing my husband with the games that he plays.
