Fairy Tales

[Verse 1]
Hide behind a character I play
Live inside a fantasy where it all stays the same

Till it's not and it comes apart
Always the ending as quick as it starts
And I am, but a word in a rhyme
Just another twist in the storyline
In the storyline
It's a tale as old as time

[Chorus]
You'll try to
Save me with your fairy tales
But I'm a monster that feeds on the frail
And there's nothing you can do to
Ever set me free from me
You can try to break me from my wicked curse
But please don't hold on, you'll just make it worse
Because happy ever after just isn't written in for me

[Verse 2]
Live inside of a rose-colored dream
Don't want you to see the dark that's buried underneath

Till it's out that it's all a facade
That I pretend to be someone I'm not
I'm a sheep but I dress like a wolf
You'll start to see I only want control
The stars align
It's a tale as old as time

[Chorus]
You'll try to
Save me with your fairy tales
But I'm a monster that feeds on the frail
And there's nothing you can do to
Ever set me free from me
You can try to break me from my wicked curse
But please don't hold on, you'll just make it worse
Because happy ever after just isn't written in for me

[Bridge]
Maybe there's a happy ending
Maybe when my kingdom comes
Maybe with a kiss of a prince or of true love

[Chorus]
Save me with your fairy tales
But I'm a monster that feeds on the frail
And there's nothing you can do to
Ever set me free from me
You can try to break me from my wicked curse
But please don't hold on, you'll just make it worse
Because happy ever after just isn't written in for me
