Life Is No Fairytale

If you ask her why she’s still holding on
Even though he let go
A long time ago
She’ll say it’s love that keeps her going on
And she promised to you forever

-Chorus-
She tried to dream with her eyes wide open
But little did she know
That dreaming was not an excuse for the rules to be broken
She tried to tell him no
But she was not as fearless as everyone spoken
Hopefully now she knows life is no fairytale

If you ask her why she still wants to win
Even though she’s aware
The game isn’t fair
She’ll say it’s cause people say she can’t win
And she promised she would prove them wrong

-Chorus-
She tried to dream with her eyes wide open
But little did she know
That dreaming was not an excuse for the rules to be broken
She tried to tell him no
But she was not as fearless as everyone spoken
Hopefully now she knows life is no fairytale

If you ask her why she’s still fighting now
Even though she doesn’t
Have any armor
She’ll say that she will never break a vow
And she promised she would do it all

-Chorus-
She tried to dream with her eyes wide open
But little did she know
That dreaming was not an excuse for the rules to be broken
She tried to tell him no
But she was not as fearless as everyone spoken
Hopefully now she knows life is no fairytale

-Bridge-
With every tear that falls on the diary
That girl remembers all that used to be
And with all the signs that I tried to show
You still don’t know
That girl is me

-Chorus
Yes, I was the one that
Tried to dream with her eyes wide open
But little did I know
That dreaming was not an excuse for the rules to be broken
I tried to tell you no
But no, I’m not as fearless as I might have thought and
Thankfully now I know life is no fairytale
