Lyrics
[Intro]
They told me love was a story
So I could close my eyes
[Verse 1]
You said forever like a password at the door
I believed every letter, then you changed the lock once more
Kept your picture in a drawer beside the unpaid bills
Funny how a promise fades but the paper never will
I learned the bedtime version, soft hands and perfect ends
Where every broken heart gets stitched by loyal friends
But morning brings the receipts, the silence, and the proof
A kiss can wear a halo while it hides a sharpened tooth
[Chorus]
True love is a fairytale we tell ourselves at night
A little sugar for the fear, a blanket for the fight
In the real world, love can smile while it lies straight through
So I stopped asking dreams to make a promise come true
[Verse 2]
I watched you pack your things beneath the kitchen clock
Said it wasn't anybody, but you wouldn't meet my eyes or talk
The coffee went cold beside the note you left behind
Four careful lines of mercy, none of them were kind
Now every pretty ending sounds like somebody's sales pitch
Every heart-shaped answer comes with fine print in the script
I don't hate the way you held me, I hate what it became
A warm room with a locked door and my name beside the blame
[Chorus]
True love is a fairytale we tell ourselves at night
A little sugar for the fear, a blanket for the fight
In the real world, love can smile while it lies straight through
So I stopped asking dreams to make a promise come true
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm awake now
Maybe that's the cost
You can keep the castle
I can count what I lost
[Outro]
Tell the children love is coming
Let them rest beneath the lie
I know better in the morning
Still, I miss you when I close my eyes

Prompt
True love is nothing but a fairytale that we tell ourselves to help us go to sleep at night, because in the real world love is nothing but a lie in this world, hip hop, male, chopped and screwed
