Broken Princess

Once upon a time, innocence believed in fairy tales.
Then monsters came, early - breaking innocent.
But still I held on, believing one day...
Princes around me, twirling tiaras for others.
Monsters came again, looking like,
Princes, Soldiers and Brothers.
This time, they broke me true.
Left me damaged, crippled, hurt and hard.

And what I believed turned
To reality for everyone but me.
And so, the story goes...

This girl broke, she fell apart.
Locked up what was left of her heart,
Monsters can't eat what's hidden away
Since princes are only a dream anyway,
Shoved into a dark tower,
Broken, undone...and alone.
Unwanted, rejected and left...
alone.

Once upon a time came around again
This time, the light broke in with him.
Hope dawned - a bright new day...
One Star saw the princess within and called me so
Against all odds, I believed with faith
That he was different and wouldn't leave but stay
Just within reach, I touched my dream.
Breathed for the first time,
Awakened with hope, dreams and what might be.

And what I believed became reality for me
For a split second a crown on my heart
And the story goes..

This girl, broke the darkness apart
I unlocked what was left of my heart
Knew monsters were gonna be kept away
Because there was a prince to save the day.
Pulled from the dark tower,
Brilliant, Sweet and Alive
Alive...

But fairy tales aren't real.
And good things never last
I believed the Prince would stay
Instead, he chose to walk away -
Monsters came back, lurking with lies
Nightmares came true eating my life

No, No, fairy tales aren't real..
There's no princess here,
Just one more time on the merry go round,
Different story, Different players,
Same ending.
No happily ever after for me.


And so the story goes...

And so the story goes....
Reality for every one else, maybe
but not for me.
No, happily ever after for me
yeah, so the story goes.
